Bottle Weighted Front Raise

Cómo hacer el Bottle Weighted Front Raise

1. 1Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a filled bottle in each hand with an overhand grip in front of your thighs.
2. 2Brace your core, keep your chest up, and let your arms hang straight down with a slight bend in your elbows.
3. 3Without swinging, raise both bottles forward in a controlled arc until your arms reach about shoulder height.
4. 4Keep your wrists firm and your elbows softly bent so the front of your shoulders does the work.
5. 5Pause briefly at the top with the bottles roughly parallel to the floor.
6. 6Lower the bottles slowly back to the starting position, resisting the weight on the way down.
7. 7Complete your reps, then set the bottles down with control.

Consejos de técnica

• Use bottles of equal weight in each hand and fill them fully so the water or sand doesn't slosh and throw off your balance.
• Lift only to shoulder height — going higher shifts the work onto the upper traps and adds little for the front delts.
• Keep the tempo slow and deliberate; a lighter improvised load rewards strict form over momentum.
• Exhale as you raise the bottles and inhale as you lower them, keeping your core braced throughout.

Errores comunes

• Swinging the torso or using leg drive to fling the bottles up, which removes tension from the front delts and risks the lower back.
• Raising the bottles above shoulder height, which transfers the load to the traps and can pinch the shoulder.
• Letting the wrists bend backward under the load, which strains the wrists and weakens the grip.
• Using bottles that are too heavy or unevenly filled, forcing a jerky, asymmetric lift.
