The front deltoid raise is an exercise to strengthen the anterior part of the deltoid muscle. It's performed by raising your arm forward from the shoulder against some form of resistance.

Hold it in front of your chest ... so the bent over lateral raise is a great shoulder exercise to add to your routine.

Bodyweight and shoulder mobility exercises are also excellent ... Without bending elbows, raise arms straight up in front of body to shoulder-height. Slowly lower back down to start.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of opting for the exercises you see everyone else doing on the gym floor (or worse, social media). But does that mean they’re the best, or right for you?
