Exercise Description

The seated barbell front raise builds your front delts and shoulder strength. It creates wider, more defined shoulders while giving you better overhead pressing power.

How To

1. Sit on a bench with your back straight, holding a barbell with an overhand grip at shoulder width 2. Keep the barbell resting on your thighs with arms straight and core tight 3. Slowly lift the seated barbell front raise up to shoulder height, keeping arms straight throughout the movement 4. Hold for one second at the top, feeling the burn in your front delts 5. Lower the barbell back to starting position with control, ready for your next seated barbell front raise rep

Form Tips

• Keep your back pressed against the bench throughout the entire seated barbell front raise movement • Don't swing or use momentum - lift with controlled, smooth motion only • Stop at shoulder height during your seated barbell front raise - going higher can hurt your shoulders • Keep a slight bend in your elbows to protect your joints from injury

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging the barbell up instead of lifting with control during seated barbell front raise • Lifting the bar too high above shoulder level, which puts dangerous stress on your shoulder joints • Arching your back off the bench during the seated barbell front raise, which can cause lower back pain
