Dumbbell Seated Front Raise

Muscles involved

When you perform the Dumbbell Seated Front Raise, you eliminate any momentum from your lower body, forcing your core and upper torso to stabilize every rep. This strict seating position isolates your shoulders with incredible precision, giving you enhanced stability around the scapular region and strengthening the front deltoids. The payoff is purely functional: gaining this kind of localized control translates into better athletic power when pushing, throwing, or maintaining an upright posture under load. Working with dumbbells individually allows you to identify and fix strength imbalances between arms, building resilient and stable shoulders that support you through heavy training and daily athletic movements alike.

How to do it

1. Sit on the end of a bench holding a weight with both hands in a neutral/hammer grip. 2. Slightly bend your elbows and lift one arm in a semicircle to shoulder height. 3. Slowly lower your arm to the starting position, maintaining control of the movement. 4. Repeat with the other arm, alternating arms with each repetition.
