Common mistakes to avoid during EZ barbell front raises
While EZ barbell front raises are a great exercise for building shoulder strength, there are some common mistakes that beginners should avoid. One of the most common mistakes is using too much weight, which can lead to improper form and potential injury. It's important to start with a lighter weight and focus on proper form before increasing the weight. Another mistake is lifting the bar too high, which can put unnecessary strain on the shoulders. Instead, focus on lifting the bar to shoulder height and keeping the movement controlled.
