Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Kettlebell Leaning Front Raise.
A front raise performed with kettlebells in a leaning-forward position at the hips, isolating the anterior deltoid by eliminating body momentum and increasing time under tension. The offset weight distribution of the kettlebell adds a rotational stability demand compared to dumbbells.
The Kettlebell Leaning Front Raise is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
