How to Do the Perfect Barbell Front Raise (Complete Guide)

Perfect Barbell Front Raise Technique

The barbell front raise is a great exercise to isolate and strengthen the shoulder muscles, particularly the front deltoid. Perform with proper form to avoid strain and ensure maximum muscle engagement.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

1.Setup Position: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding the barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing down).
2.Lift Off: Keep your arms straight but not locked. Slowly raise the barbell in front of you to shoulder height.
3.Controlled Descent: Lower the barbell back down with control to the starting position, resisting gravity.
4.Posture: Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and avoid leaning backward while raising the weight.
5.Breathing: Inhale while lowering the barbell and exhale as you raise it.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1.Using momentum by swinging the body or arms to lift the barbell.
2.Lifting the barbell higher than shoulder height, straining the shoulders.
3.Locking the elbows, reducing range of motion and shoulder activation.
4.Arching the back to compensate for a lack of strength.
5.Not maintaining a steady and controlled movement throughout.
