Barbell front raise while standing
The standing execution of the Barbell Front Raise is a popular classic. Many athletes prefer this variation. Here are additional tips for aligning your body and executing the movement.
Body position
Initiate the standing Barbell Front Raise with a hip-width stance. Your knees are slightly bent, and your upper body is upright, with your gaze directed forward. Then, grab the barbell with an overhand grip. Allow your arms to hang down with the barbell, keeping your elbows slightly bent to protect your joints.
Movement execution
The upward motion in the Barbell Front Raise begins by lifting your arms upward, keeping them almost fully extended. Exhale during this upward movement and pause just above your chest. After a brief pause, inhale and lower the barbell back down in a controlled manner.
