Dumbbell Seated Front Raise
Both bells raised together from a bench with a back rest; the pad keeps the torso from leaning into the lift.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, back flat on an upright pad, feet planted, bells hanging at the sides.
Steps
- Raise both bells forward to shoulder height, knuckles up.
- Keep the back and head on the pad.
- Lower them slowly beside the seat.
Common mistakes
Back leaving the pad to start the lift: stay pinned, lighter bells. Elbows bending: long arms to the top. Dropping the bells into the next rep: a slow lowering, then a pause.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
