Front Deltoid Plate Raise
- While standing straight, hold a barbell plate in both hands at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. Your palms should be facing each other and your arms should be extended with a slight bend at the elbows and the plate should be down near your waist/thighs in front of you as far as you can go. Tip: The arms will remain in this position throughout the exercise. This will be your starting position.
- Slowly raise the plate as you exhale until it is a little above shoulder level. Hold the contraction for a second. Tip: make sure that you do not swing the weight or bend at the elbows. Your torso should remain stationary throughout the movement as well.
- As you inhale, slowly lower the plate back down to the starting position.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Variations: You can use dumbbells, barbells, cables or exercise bands to perform this movement.
Tip: Start with light weight if you are new to this movement.
