How Should I Train Shoulders| Front Deltoids| Dumbbell Front Raises
This is a wonderful way for you to build up your front deltoids. It focuses only on the front deltoid. I have found that I stand with my feet slightly apart. You need to be in a very comfortable position as you are going to put yourself out of balance when you lift the weight in front of your body. A good stance is really important. Have the dumbbells by your side, and raising one arm at a time, lift the weight to around the shoulder level. Keep the arm straight. I have also found that, if I do not lock the wrist but allow the weight to hang down a bit, I get a better workout. When you get to the top, hold it for a second and then lower the weight fairly slowly. Then repeat with the other arm. This is an awesome workout and you will see fairly quick results.

You can see the position you need the have the weights when you start. Hands in front of you and not side on. Lift the weight up with one arm all the way to the top position

From this photo you can see that the wrist is not locked but allows the weight to hang down. This puts a bit more pressure on the front deltoid.

You can see the height you need to go to. It is around the shoulder level. Keep your arm straight throughout the movement. Pause with the weight at the top so the deltoid has to really work.
Keep your back and your arms straight throughout the movement.
I normally do around 5/6 sets of these with my normal combination way of training -increasing weight and reducing reps.
