Supinated Front Raise

Exercise Overview

The supinated front raise is a strengthening exercise for the shoulder flexors. This may be completed standing or sitting. Hold a dumbbell in your hand. Rotate the wrist so that the palm faces forwards. Raise your hand up directly in front of you while maintaining a soft bend in the elbows. Raise the arm to roughly shoulder height and lower the weight back to the ground. Be sure to minimize momentum used through swaying the body. You may complete this exercise unilaterally (one hand at a time) or bilaterally (both hands at the same time).
