Barbell Standing Front Raise Over Head

Target
Delts

The standing front raise over head extends the range of a normal front raise all the way to full overhead extension, working the front delts through a longer path than a raise that stops at shoulder height. That extra range adds real time under tension but also demands more shoulder mobility. Keep the weight light, since the top portion of this range is where control tends to break down first.

How to Do the Barbell Standing Front Raise Over Head

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell in front of your thighs with an overhand grip.
  2. Keep your back straight and engage your core.
  3. Slowly raise the barbell in front of you, keeping your arms straight and your palms facing down.
  4. Continue lifting until the barbell is slightly above shoulder level.
  5. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
