Exercise Description

The high weight plate front raise builds massive front deltoid strength and size. It creates that boulder shoulder look while improving overhead pressing power.

How To

1. Stand tall holding a heavy weight plate with both hands at arm's length in front of your thighs 2. Keep your core tight and shoulders back as you prepare for the high weight plate front raise 3. Slowly lift the plate straight up in front of you until it reaches shoulder height 4. Hold for one second at the top, feeling the burn in your front delts 5. Lower the plate back down with control to complete your high weight plate front raise rep

Form Tips

• Keep your arms slightly bent throughout the entire high weight plate front raise movement • Don't swing or use momentum - let your shoulders do all the work • Stop at shoulder height during your high weight plate front raise to protect your joints • Squeeze your core to prevent arching your back

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging the plate up instead of lifting with control • Lifting the plate too high above shoulder level during the high weight plate front raise • Leaning back or arching the spine when the high weight plate front raise gets tough
