Dumbbell Front Plank Arm Raise
Description
The dumbbell front plank arm raise is performed in a high plank holding dumbbells while raising one arm forward at a time. The plank position challenges the core, while the front raise hits the front delt. The need to anti-rotate makes the obliques work hard to keep the hips square.
