Shoulder
Written By David Song

DUMBBELL FRONT RAISE

This is a strengthening exercise for the shoulder flexors. This may be completed standing or sitting. Hold a dumbbell in each hand. You may complete this exercise unilaterally (one hand at a time) or bilaterally (both hands at the same time). Raise your hand up directly in front of you while keeping a soft bend in the elbows. Raise the arm to roughly shoulder height and lower the weight back to the ground. Be sure to minimize momentum used through swaying the body.

Muscles Involved:

  • Anterior Deltoid

  • Upper Trapezius

Related Conditions:

  • Strength Training

  • Rotator Cuff Tear

  • Shoulder Impingement

  • AC Joint Sprain

  • Osteolysis of the Distal Clavicle
