Dumbbell Seated Single Arm Front Raise
Description
The dumbbell seated single arm front raise isolates each front deltoid in a strict seated position. The seated setup removes leg drive and most torso swing. Working one arm at a time allows full focus on the working delt and also lets you brace harder for tougher reps.
