Barbell Front Raise And Pullover

Category

Equipment
Barbell
Target
Pectorals

Combining a front raise with a pullover in one continuous barbell movement works the front delts and chest through an extended arc, essentially chaining two exercises into one longer time-under-tension set. It's an old-school combination move that rewards control over speed. Keep the arms nearly straight throughout to maintain the intended long lever.

How to Do the Barbell Front Raise And Pullover

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a barbell with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
  2. Keep your arms straight and raise the barbell in front of you until it reaches shoulder height.
  3. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position.
  4. Next, lower the barbell behind your head, keeping your arms straight.
  5. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then raise the barbell back up to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
