Dumbbell Standing Alternate Vertical Front Raises
Description
The dumbbell standing alternate vertical front raises are performed with palms facing each other (neutral grip) and dumbbells held vertically, alternating one arm at a time. The alternating pattern allows heavier loading and better focus on each rep. The neutral grip is shoulder-friendly and emphasizes the front delt.
