Front Raise

How to Do Front Raise: Step by Step

1. Stand with dumbbells at your sides
2. Raise one or both arms straight forward to shoulder height
3. Slight bend in elbows throughout
4. Lower with control

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Swinging the weight up with momentum
• Raising above shoulder height — shifts to traps
• Leaning back to lift heavier weight

Front Raise Tips

• Use lighter weight than lateral raises — front delts are smaller
• Alternating arms reduces momentum
• Can also be done with a barbell or plate
