Target Muscle Group: Shoulders

Barbell Front Raise Overview
The barbell front lift is a shoulder exercise that targets the front deltoids. The barbell can be used to overload muscles in a way that dumbbells are not.
The front deltoid plays a role in many pressing movements. Strengthening this muscle group can help you to lift heavier weights.
Larger front deltoids can give the appearance of more shoulders and a wider upper body.
How to Do it
- Choose the weight you want and load it onto a handlebar.
- Take a stance at your shoulder width and grip the bar with a pronated grip.
- Breathe in deeply, brace your abdominals, and lift the arms vertically, keeping the elbows almost locked out.
- Slowly lower the bar until your arms are parallel to the floor.
- Continue repeating until you reach the desired number.
Exercise Tips
- Do not lean back while you raise your arms. Keep the motion under control. Don't rely upon momentum.
- Do not bounce at the top; let your shoulders flex, and then slowly lower.
