Barbell Incline Front Raise with Chest Support
The barbell front raise lying chest-down on an incline bench; the pad holds the torso still, so the front delts lift alone.
How to do it
Setup
Chest on an incline bench, toes on the floor, a barbell hanging under the shoulders in an overhand grip.
Steps
- Raise the bar on straight arms until they are in line with the body.
- Keep the chest on the pad and the wrists straight.
- Lower the bar slowly back under the shoulders.
Common mistakes
Chest lifting off the pad: the bench holds you; take a lighter bar. Bending the elbows to help: arms long, the shoulders do the lift. Dropping the bar at the bottom: lower it as slowly as you raised it.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
