front delt builder raising a plate from your thighs to overhead
it carries the raise past shoulder height, so the front delt works through the
whole range instead of stopping halfway the way a front raise does
two hands on one weight is what lets you keep your arms straight and the path
tight
Execution
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart holding a plate by the sides with both
hands, arms straight and the plate against your thighs. Brace your trunk.
raise the plate forward and up with your arms straight
keep going past shoulder height until it is overhead
lower it under control along the same path
let it come all the way back to your thighs
keep your torso still rather than swinging it up
When the weight gets heavy, use body English to cheat it up and own the
negative.
