Dumbbell front raises with both arms

Commence by standing hip-width apart and straightening your upper body. Your gaze is directed forward. Take a dumbbell in each hand with your desired weight, holding them in a neutral hammer grip. Allow your arms to hang loosely at your sides, with a slight bend.

Movement execution

During the front raising with dumbbells, lift the weights alternately with an extended arm. Raise the arm until the dumbbell reaches chest height. Exhale during the upward movement and rotate your wrist inward. After reaching the target position, inhale and lower the arm in a controlled manner until it is positioned beside your body in the starting position. Execute the entire movement deliberately and slowly to effectively train the shoulder muscles. Simultaneous front raising with both dumbbells is also suitable for shoulder training. In this variation, both weights are lifted simultaneously, eliminating the alternating execution.
