Target
Delts

The band front lateral raise loads the front delts through the same arc as a dumbbell front raise, but the band's resistance curve makes the top of the movement harder rather than the bottom, which is where a dumbbell version usually loses tension. It's a solid front-delt isolation move when you don't have light dumbbells around. Keep the rep controlled rather than swinging the band up.

How to Do the Band Front Lateral Raise

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the band in front of your thighs with your palms facing down.
  2. Keep your arms straight and lift the band up in front of you until your arms are parallel to the ground.
  3. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower the band back down to the starting position.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Muscles Worked

The Band Front Lateral Raise primarily targets the Delts, with Traps as the primary synergist muscle group, along with the Upper Back.
