Purpose

(1) To develop the front head of the deltoids.

Instructions

(1) Stand with a dumbbell in each hand. Lift one weight out and up in a wide arc until it is higher than the top of your head.

(2) Lower the weight under control while simultaneously lifting the other weight, so that both arms are in motion at the same time and the dumbbells pas each other at a point in front of your face.

Tips

(1) make certain that the dumbbells pass in front of you, and with arms kept locked, lift it to a point just higher than your head, staying as strict as possible, then lower it again under control.

Variation: Do front raises in a seated position for a stricter movement, since you can't use your body to cheat on the lifts.
