Exercise Description

Seated high barbell front raise builds shoulder strength and size. It targets your front delts while the seated position helps you lift heavier with better control.

How To

1. Sit on a bench with your back straight, holding a barbell with an overhand grip shoulder-width apart 2. Start with the barbell resting on your thighs, arms extended but not locked 3. Slowly raise the barbell straight up until it reaches eye level, keeping your arms mostly straight 4. Hold for one second at the top, feeling the squeeze in your front delts 5. Lower the barbell back to starting position with control - this is one rep of the seated high barbell front raise

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the seated high barbell front raise to protect your lower back • Don't swing or use momentum - let your shoulders do all the work • Stop at eye level - going higher puts stress on your shoulder joints • Use a weight that lets you control the seated high barbell front raise perfectly

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and swinging your body to lift the barbell up • Raising the barbell too high above your head, which can hurt your shoulders • Rushing through the seated high barbell front raise instead of moving slow and controlled
