How to perform?
Barbell front raises are a shoulder exercise that primarily targets the anterior deltoids, the front part of the shoulders. The exercise is performed by holding a barbell with an overhand grip in front of the thighs and lifting it up to shoulder level while keeping the arms straight. The lateral deltoids and upper trapezius also assist in the movement, while the triceps brachii act as stabilizers. The forearms may also be engaged to grip the barbell, and the abs, glutes, and lower back may be activated to maintain proper posture.
