Front Raises with a band

The lateral raise with dumbbells is an effective isolation exercise that primarily targets the lateral part of the shoulder muscles (M. deltoideus pars acromialis). This exercise helps to define the shoulders and develop a broader shoulder area. You maintain an upright posture and lift your arms sideways to shoulder height to optimally activate the muscles. You only need dumbbells, and beginners can easily perform it.

The Planche Lean is one of the best exercises to prepare for the Planche, one of the most impressive calisthenics moves. Using parallettes helps reduce strain on the wrists and provides a more stable grip.

The shoulder press with a resistance band is an effective exercise for strengthening the shoulder muscles, especially the front shoulders. The band is anchored under the feet while the arms are stretched upwards. Unlike the classic shoulder press with dumbbells, the resistance band provides variable resistance, which challenges the muscles more intensively, especially in the final phase of the movement. Additionally, it activates the core muscles more since the band's instability requires greater balance and stability in the upper body. This variation is excellent for flexible training, as it requires little equipment and can easily be adjusted to different difficulty levels.
