Overhead Front Raise (with Weight Plate) Instructions
- Choose a weight plate and stand with your feet around shoulder width apart. Hold the weight plate with your palms facing one another at around the 3 and 9 o'clock positions.
- With your back straight, contract your midsection and pull your shoulders back. This is the starting position for the exercise.
- Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, slowly raise the plate until it is almost straight above your head.
- Pause, and then slowly lower the plate back to the starting position.
- Repeat for desired reps.
Overhead Front Raise (with Weight Plate) Tips
- This is an isolation exercise so it's important to focus on a strict technique to isolate the front deltoids.
- Don't let the plate touch your body during the set.
- Keep the rep timing slow, and lower the weight slowly.
- Keep your core tight and your back straight. Don't swing to assist in moving the weight up.
