Common questions
What can I do instead of the Weighted Front Raise?
The closest substitutes are the Band Y-Raise, Barbell Skier and Battling Ropes. Each trains the delts as its primary muscle, so sets and reps can stay the same as your Weighted Front Raise programming.
Which Weighted Front Raise alternative should I try first?
Start with the Band Y-Raise — it targets the delts with a band and is the closest match in this list.
Can I just rotate these with the Weighted Front Raise?
Yes. Rotating two or three same-muscle movements every few weeks keeps progress moving without changing what the session trains — they all load the delts first.
