Barbell Front Raises | How to Perform Barbell Front Raises | Powerlift Pro App
Barbell front raises are an effective exercise for targeting the front deltoid muscles. Here’s a simplified version of the steps to perform barbell front raises:
Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell in front of your thighs.
Grip the barbell with an overhand grip, palms facing down. Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the exercise.
Starting position:
Keep your core engaged and maintain good posture, with your shoulders pulled back.
Execution:
Exhale and slowly lift the barbell straight up in front of you, leading with your elbows.
Continue to raise the barbell until your arms are parallel to the floor or slightly higher, focusing on engaging your front deltoid muscles.
Hold the raised position briefly, squeezing your shoulder muscles.
Lowering phase:
Inhale and slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
Repeat:
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
Remember to choose a weight that challenges your muscles but still allows you to maintain proper form. Avoid using momentum or swinging the weight.
Focus on using your shoulder muscles to perform the movement. Keep your core engaged and maintain proper posture throughout the exercise.
As always, it’s advisable to consult with a fitness professional or healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any pre-existing injuries or conditions.
