Optimization details: When the arm is raised parallel to the ground, the training movement should not pause and continue to raise.
Initial position: Let your feet be shoulder-width apart, stand upright, keep your head straight and upward (looking ahead), tighten your abdomen, and hold the barbell with both hands to place it Right in front of your thigh muscles, hold your hands wider apart and use an overhand (palm down) grip. Keep your knees slightly bent.
Training actions: Keep your arms basically straight during training (the so-called straightening usually means that your elbows are bent to a certain extent), and lift the barbell in front of your body until the barbell is lifted. to just above your head. Contract your deltoid muscles while overhead, then slowly lower the barbell back down to its starting position, just a few inches away from your thigh muscles. (You can then do the next rep).
Key points of barbell front to overhead press:There is no doubt that the front raise is a very classic training movement. The way we use front raises in this training is completely different from the methods used by all the usual personal trainers. They usually think that if the barbell is raised to a horizontal position where the entire arm is beyond parallel to the ground, it will be a kind of Taboo practices and useless. However, if it is not the deltoid muscle that is acting, which muscle does the barbell move upward? The deltoids are also highly engaged when lifting the barbell above horizontal to the ground, and this action can even help you increase the size of the lower trapezius muscle (a muscle that is not easily targeted). muscle group), the lower part of the trapezius can also be stretched in this exercise. In order to make this training action more difficult, when the barbell is lowered from top to bottom, the movement stops when it reaches the level of the arm and the ground, and then returns to the position where it is raised above the head (of course, it can also be completely lowered, "Difficult" methods, you can choose according to the situation. )
