Band front raise

Muscles

• Lower trapezius
• Serratus anterior
• Anterior deltoid
• Middle deltoid

Technique

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, with a resistance band under both feet.
2. Hold the band with both hands, palms facing down, and your arms extended in front of you at thigh level.
3. Raise both arms in front of you until they are at least at shoulder height.
4. Pause briefly at the top, then lower your arms back down to the starting position in a controlled motion.

Form tips

1. Keep your torso upright and avoid leaning back as you raise the band.
2. Don't let your shoulders shrug up toward your ears—keep them relaxed and down.
3. Focus on a slow and controlled lowering phase to maximize tension on the shoulder muscles.
