Barbell Front Raise

Front raises are a simple exercise that target the front deltoids, the muscles at the front of your shoulders. To perform them with a barbell, follow these steps:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a barbell with an overhand grip in front of your thighs. Your arms should be slightly bent and your shoulders relaxed.
2. Keeping your torso still and your elbows locked, raise the barbell in front of you until it is parallel to the floor or slightly higher. Do not swing or use momentum to lift the weight.
3. Pause for a second at the top and squeeze your shoulder muscles. Then lower the barbell slowly and with control to the starting position.
4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions or time.
