Barbell Front Raises For Shoulders
How about a nice simple exercise that mainly targets the front portion of your shoulders, but also a bit of the side delts, the upper chest and the traps? That exercise is the barbell front raise.
Barbell Front Raise
Key with this one really is to use the appropriate amount of weight, even if small plates look a bit ridiculous on that large barbell. Because otherwise you can end up exercising a whole lot of muscles, but not your shoulders. Besides, you should also have a heart for your furniture:
When To Do Them
Despite involving a number of synergists while targeting the front delts, barbell front raises can still be classified as an isolation exercise. So I suggest doing them after your shoulder compounds. For example, if you want to do two exercises hitting the front delts and one of them is the military press, the military press should come first.

UGH – that move is one of the hardest moves ever for me!!! I’m going to try it with a barbell, though (I’ve always just used dumbbells).
If you’ve never done it before, it can be quite challenging, so in the beginning it is quite ok to just the bar without any weights at all.
hmm, I don’t wanna call again the “sitting thing” of mine 😉
I definitely add and try this routine to my workout.
Thanks again EC.
Yep, doing these sitting would be a bit going nowhere 😉
It sounds like you cracked your wall with the barbell in that video.
Is your wall OK? lol
It was that little metal cabinet. My furniture sometimes has to suffer 🙂
