Barbell Front Raise
Barbell front raises for strong front delts. It works mainly the front deltoid, with help from the lateral deltoid.
Flawless ranks it by lifetime volume: Gold, the third of eight ranks, starts at 25,000 kg.
How to do Barbell Front Raise
- Stand tall holding a light bar with an overhand grip about shoulder width, arms straight in front of your thighs.
- Raise the bar forward with straight arms until it is at shoulder height.
- Pause for a second at the top without leaning back; the ribs stay down.
- Lower slowly to the thighs and repeat. If you have to swing, take weight off.
These are the same steps you see in the exercise guide in the Flawless app.
