General And Specifics
- this exercise has a focus on the front deltoid muscle
- the upper chest and the trapezius support the deltoid
Starting Position
- grasp a barbell or an ez bar with shoulder-wide over hand grip (backs of the hands point forward)
- the feet are shoulder width apart, the knees bent a little bit
- posture is upright
- the arms hang down at the sides
- keep the elbows bent a bit
- the barbell is in front of your thighs, but does not touch them
Correct Execution
- brace the body
- raise both arms up to shoulder-height
- pause shortly and bring the weight back to the starting position slowly
- there is no momentum in the motions
- do not lean back while raising the weight
- do several reps
tips for the workout
- if you arrange the hands closer, the focus is even more on the leading deltoid
- the farer away the hands, the more the focus on the middle deltoid
- you can avoid swinging of the upper body by standing against a wall
