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.
Exercise

Front lift

One-armed, seated
Type: Unilateral Rest: 120s Equipment: Kurzhantel, Schrägbank

Tutorial

  1. 1
    Take a dumbbell in your left hand and sit on a weight bench inclined at 45°.
  2. 2
    Hold the dumbbell in a neutral grip (palm facing inwards) next to your left thigh. The left arm hangs down and the elbow joint is slightly bent.
  3. 3
    Powerfully lift the weight up in front of your body until your arm is spread out 90° in front of your body and turn your palm 90° inwards. Your arm remains almost fully extended in front of your body and your palm is now facing downwards. Hold the position briefly and exhale.
  4. 4
    Bring the weight down slowly and in a controlled manner and turn your palm 90° outwards until you are back in the starting position. Your hand should be next to your thigh again. Breathe in as you do this.
  5. 5
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions with the left side first and continue with the right side after a 60-second break.
Tip
Keep your back straight and pull your shoulder blades down. Choose a weight that is not too heavy and concentrate on the execution.
