Gymstick Front Raise Tips

  1. Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart, firmly gripping the gymstick with both hands, and holding it in front of your thighs. This exercise primarily targets your shoulder muscles, so make sure to engage them right from the beginning.
  2. As you exhale, slowly lift the gymstick forward, keeping your arms straight and parallel to the floor. Imagine leading the movement with your shoulders, feeling the muscles working as you raise the gymstick. Focus on maintaining a controlled and steady motion throughout the exercise.
  3. Avoid any jerking or swinging movements, as this can lead to improper form and potential injury. Instead, concentrate on a smooth and deliberate motion, feeling the tension in your shoulders as you lift the gymstick. Remember, quality over quantity!
  4. At the top of the movement, pause for a brief moment, squeezing your shoulder muscles to maximize their engagement. Visualize your shoulders getting stronger and more defined with each repetition, and let that motivate you to push through any fatigue or discomfort.
  5. Finally, slowly lower the gymstick back to the starting position, inhaling as you do so. Maintain control throughout the descent, resisting the urge to let gravity take over. By focusing on the eccentric phase of the exercise, you’ll further challenge your shoulder muscles and enhance their development.
