Front Raise

Direct front-delt work — a small dose goes far since pressing hits them too.

Setup

  1. Bells resting on the front of your thighs.

How To Do It

  1. Raise straight forward to eye height, arms nearly straight.
  2. Lower slow and controlled.

Breathing

Exhale raising.

Common Mistakes

  • Rocking the torso for momentum — brace and strict.
  • Going above eye line — no benefit up there.
Coach Sam's cue: Slow up, slower down.
