9 Best Shoulder Exercises for Men

#5 Front Plate Raise

Front plate raise is another exercise focused on improving the shoulder muscles with minimal fitness equipment. Traditionally, the workout is performed using a barbell plate, but variations using dumbbells, cables and exercise bands are also seen depending on the need.

Instructions:

Front plate raise involves a barbell plate, which requires the individual to hold it on the sides with a firm grip. One should hold this position throughout the duration of the exercise.

Step 1: Hold the plate almost parallel to the ground with slightly bent elbows just below the waist, which is the initial position of the exercise routine.

Step 2: Slowly, move the barbell plate in a forward motion away from the body such that it is raised just above the shoulder level. Hold the plate for a few moments and move back to the initial position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
