Chest Supported Dumbbell Front Raises
How to Do:
- Adjust an incline bench to a slight angle and lie face down on it, ensuring your chest is fully supported and your feet are firmly on the ground.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended downward, palms facing your body.
- Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, lift the dumbbells straight in front of you to shoulder height. Exhale as you lift.
- Pause at the top for a brief moment, feeling the tension in your front delts.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position while inhaling.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Benefits:
This exercise isolates the anterior deltoids, improving their strength and size. The chest support reduces momentum, ensuring strict form and better muscle engagement while minimising lower back strain. It enhances shoulder stability and promotes healthy joint function, making it an excellent choice for improving overall shoulder mobility and posture.
