Front Raise with Spread
Raise both dumbbells straight in front of you to chest level, open the straight arms out to the sides into a T, then bring them back and lower the same way.
How to do it
Setup
Stand tall, light dumbbells hanging in front of the thighs.
Steps
- Raise both straight arms to chest level in front.
- Open them out to the sides into a T.
- Bring them back together and lower.
Common mistakes
Swinging the torso to launch the raise: lighter bells, quiet body. Shrugging into the raise: blades down, delts lift. Dropping the arms on the spread: hold chest height through the whole arc.
Breathing
Exhale through the raise and spread, inhale lowering.
