This exercise will work on your front and side deltoids side by side with your traps. The wider grip you take, the more it works on the deltoids. To do this exercise, take an overhand grip on a barbell and lift it up to your thigh. Hold it there with your hands about 8 inches apart and let it hang in front. Try to lift the bar as straight upwards as possible, without touching your body. It should reach the height of your chin before the movement is complete. Make sure that your elbows are consistently higher than the bar throughout the movement. Instead of a bar, you can also use a low cable bar or dumbbells.
