"Front raise works the front part of the shoulder and the meaty part of the deltoid. With elastic tubing choosing a thickness that will fatigue the muscle in 10 to 15 reps. We are going to make sure you've got it secure underneath your foot so that it doesn't snap up as you are hitting peak contraction. In a kickstand formation here, supporting with the back leg, activate your core, the closer I bring my foot towards the elastic tubing the more difficult the challenge is going to be with a slight bend in the elbow never locking out the joint here is your starting position. Inhale before you start the movement and exhale, come up. When you raise your arm, you are doing shoulder flexion, you should see a nice line with your joints, wrist, elbow, shoulder, so that muscle can fire towards its belly and really hit peak contraction. Make sure you are not doing any twisting or turning but boom straight up peak contraction. We don't lift any higher than the line with the shoulder. Once you do that you take the focus off the working deltoid and the exercise is over. Working unilateral one side to the other so you can hit good fatigue in 10 to 15 reps, three sets, each side."
