Exercise Description

The barbell front raise builds strong, defined front deltoids and improves shoulder stability. This move creates broader shoulders and better posture.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell with an overhand grip at thigh level 2. Keep your core tight and shoulders back, with a slight bend in your knees 3. Slowly lift the barbell front raise straight out in front of you until it reaches shoulder height 4. Hold for one second at the top, feeling the tension in your front deltoids 5. Lower the barbell front raise back down to starting position with control

Form Tips

• Keep your wrists straight and grip the bar firmly during the barbell front raise • Don't swing or use momentum - control the weight through the entire range of motion • Stop at shoulder height - lifting higher puts unnecessary stress on your joints • Engage your core throughout the barbell front raise to protect your lower back

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging the barbell front raise up with momentum instead of muscle control • Lifting the bar too high past shoulder level, which can cause shoulder impingement • Arching your back excessively during the barbell front raise movement to compensate for heavy weight
