In a recent video shared by the Pro Creator on YouTube, alongside Bumstead, he demonstrates a powerful exercise to blast those shoulders into boulder-like proportions. The exercise? “Front raises” using a spider bench. But here’s the kicker—it’s all about the technique.
The bodybuilding coach emphasizes the importance of precision, advising against swinging and urging for a slight pause at the top of each raise. According to him, it’s all about owning the weight and avoiding momentum. By doing so, you maximize the time your front delts spend under tension, which is key for optimal gains.

This technique isn’t just about lifting weights; it’s about sculpting artistry. It’s about chiseling those shoulders to perfection, creating a masterpiece that stands out on stage.
