The Barbell Standing Front Raise Over Head exercise is a great way to target and build strength in the shoulders, especially the front deltoids.
How to perform
Step by step instructions:1. Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding a barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Keep your core engaged and shoulders relaxed.
3. With a slight bend in your elbows, lift the barbell in a controlled motion straight up in front of you until your arms are parallel to the ground.
4. Hold for a brief moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
6. Remember to keep your movements slow and controlled to avoid swinging the barbell.
7. You can also vary the grip position on the barbell to target different parts of the shoulders.
It's important to start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form and prevent injury. As you become more comfortable with the movement, you can gradually increase the weight to continue challenging yourself.
