Front Raise
Front raises to isolate the front deltoid head. 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 Front Raise
- Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs, palms facing the body, arms straight.
- Raise the dumbbells forward with straight arms until they are at shoulder height.
- Pause for a second at the top without leaning back; the ribs stay down.
- Lower slowly to the thighs. Lift both arms together or alternate; if you have to swing, take weight off.
These are the same steps you see in the exercise guide in the Flawless app.
