Front lift Background

Description

Front raises are an exercise in which you mainly train your front shoulder, but also your upper chest. In the variation on the incline bench, we create a greater range of motion and the shoulder is stretched in the lower area.

Tutorial

  1. 1
    Take a dumbbell in each hand and sit on a weight bench inclined at 45°.
  2. 2
    Hold the dumbbells shoulder-width apart and in a neutral grip (palms facing inwards) next to your thighs. The arms hang down and the elbow joint is slightly bent.
  3. 3
    Powerfully lift the weight up in front of your body until your arms are spread out 90° in front of your body and turn your palms 90° inwards. Your arms remain almost fully extended in front of your body and your palms are now facing downwards. Hold the position briefly and exhale.
  4. 4
    Bring the weight down slowly and in a controlled manner and turn your palms 90° outwards until you are back in the starting position. Your hands should be next to your thighs again. Breathe in as you do this.
  5. 5
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Keep your back straight and pull your shoulder blades down. Choose a weight that is not too heavy and concentrate on the execution.
