Exercise of the Day

Seated Incline Front Raise:

Benefit: using an incline bench will ensure any cheating that would normally happen in an upright standing position is less likely when your anterior (front) delts begin to fatigue.

Setup: using an adjustable incline bench, position your body at a 45-degree angle. Allowing your arms to hang, hold a pair of dumbells at arm's length using a thumb-locked, pronated grip (so that the backs of your hands face foward).

Action: Start the movement by contracting your anterior deltoids, raising your arms directly infront of you. Continue this motion until your arms are parallel to or slightly higher than the floor. At the top, hold for a count of two before lowering the dumbells back to the starting postition.
