EZ-Bar Front Raise

A two-handed front raise with an EZ-bar. The angled grip is easier on the wrists than a straight bar while still letting both hands drive the same load.

How to do it

1. Stand holding an EZ-bar with an overhand grip on the inner bends, arms hanging in front of the thighs.
2. Keep the elbows slightly bent and fixed throughout.
3. Raise the bar in a smooth arc up to shoulder height.
4. Pause briefly at the top, then lower under control.
5. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.

Tips

• Raise and lower the bar along the same smooth arc, without swinging it away from the body.
• Do not swing the torso; keep the core braced and the knees slightly soft.
• Stop at shoulder height — going higher shifts tension off the front delts.
