Tips and comments for Dumbbell Seated Front Raise

• Don’t swing the dumbbells.
• Maintain your back in a neutral position as well as against your back (if you are sitting in a chair).
• Your arms should only be moving. Keep your body still.
• If you are forced to move your body around to raise the dumbbells the dumbbells aren’t heavy enough. Lower the weight.
• There are a variety of methods you can hold the dumbbells while performing the front raise of the dumbbells seated. It is possible to hold the same neutral (hammer) grip , or grip with a Pronated (overhand) grip during the entire movement. In the picture the picture, you may also begin by establishing the neutral grip. And when your arms are passing the legs, you can turn (pronate) the wrists to ensure that your palms are facing downwards towards high points of your exercise. I would suggest keeping an even grip as this will reduce the risk for shoulder impingement. Check out the video.
