Band Front Raise

Target
Delts

Band front raises hit the front delts through shoulder flexion, with the band adding resistance that builds through the lift instead of staying constant like a dumbbell would. It's an easy exercise to overdo since the front delts already get plenty of indirect work from pressing, so this is better used sparingly than as a program staple. Keep the reps slow and avoid using back arch to help lift the band.

How to Do the Band Front 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 slowly raise them forward until they are parallel to the ground.
  3. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your arms back down to the starting position.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Muscles Worked

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