Underhand EZ-Bar Front Raise

Technique

How to perform Underhand EZ-Bar Front Raise

1. Stand upright with your feet about hip-width apart and hold an EZ-bar in front of your thighs using an underhand grip on its outer angled bends.
2. Keep a small, steady bend in your elbows and hold your torso still.
3. Raise the bar forward in a smooth arc until it reaches about shoulder height, without curling your elbows or swinging your hips.
4. Maintain the underhand grip and allow your shoulder blades to rotate with your arms rather than pinning them down and back.
5. Pause briefly, then lower the bar toward your thighs under control while keeping the same elbow angle.
