5 Powerful Deltoid Exercises for Bigger Delts

#2 Dumbbell Front Raise

The dumbbell front raise is also an isolation exercise. It uses weights to strengthen the anterior deltoid or the front shoulder. This dumbbell exercise also improves stability through the shoulder joint.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Hold the weights in each hand in front of your thighs with the palms facing towards you.

Step 2: Now lift the dumbbells to shoulder height and pause for 1-2 seconds.

Step 3: Return back down to the starting position with the same control.

Important Tip: Do 3 sets of 10-15 reps each. Avoid swinging the arms and don’t lower the weights too quickly. Maintain a slight bend of the elbows during the course of the exercise.
