Rogue athlete Arielle Loewen demonstrates proper form for single front raises in this quick and simple movement demo from Rogue HQ.
The front raise is a shoulder strengthening exercise that focuses on the anterior deltoid (front of the shoulder), where you lift dumbbells (or other weights) out to the front until arms are roughly parallel to the floor. This exercise will help target shoulder strength and the stabilizers that support pressing, pulling, and overhead work.
Benefits
- This movement will help build the anterior deltoid, which assists with pressing strength. This accessory movement transfers to gymnastics and olympic lifting pressing movements.
