My right shoulder keeps getting broader than my left shoulder which appears as if it is’nt going to improve at all. What should i do?

The front raise is a great exercise although it has been found now that it should be performed with a hammer grip, so that the palms are facing each other throughout the movement. The problem with the regular grip is that it can cause an impingement within the shoulder joint.

Love your blog keep up the good work

this exercise is kinda hard. I always end up doing only a few repetitions because my shoulder is weak when doing this exercise.

I do all other shoulder exercises with ease, except for this one.

I used to do these with dumbbells but recently I have been doing a seated, incline variation with a barbell. I still use the dumbbell version you have wrote about but I like to mix it up with variations. Another good variation is to do this exercise with cables by standing with your back to the plates and running the cable through your legs.
