Targets: Front delt

About

It's a workout that targets the front shoulder. Raise your hands as far away from your body as possible!

How to EZ-Bar Front Raise

Starting Position

1. Please stand shoulder-width apart.

2. Position the EZ bar in front of your thighs.

3. Open your chest and straighten your back.

Proper Form

1. Please slowly lift the barbell to shoulder height while keeping your elbows slightly bent.

2. Make sure the palms of your hands are facing down towards the floor.

3. Slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position.

4. However, do not lower the barbell completely; only lower it until your shoulders are relaxed.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your arms, and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

Please be careful not to lift the barbell higher than shoulder height.
