Front Incline Dumbbell Raise

Isolate your shoulders with a controlled incline raise.

By leaning back on an incline bench, this movement removes momentum and helps you target the front delts precisely. It’s a great option for isolation work and pre-fatigue sets.

Instructions

  1. Sit on an incline bench (30–60°) holding dumbbells with arms extended slightly above your thighs.
  2. Keep your palms facing down and your back pressed into the bench.
  3. Raise the dumbbells directly in front of you until they’re above shoulder height.
  4. Pause and squeeze at the top, then lower slowly to the start.
  5. Repeat for the target number of reps.
