The ZeroWheel Front Raise is a shoulder-focused exercise that primarily targets the anterior deltoids, the muscles in the front part of the shoulders. This exercise enhances control and stability, while also engaging the core to maintain posture during the movement.

Exercise Notes

Rest

Start by standing facing the wall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Press ZeroWheel against the wall at hip-level with your arms extended, focusing on your shoulders, arms, and core. Do not lock your knees, or elbows. Avoid arching your back by keeping your core engaged.

Rollout

Press and roll ZeroWheel in a straight path upward, keeping your arms extended. Keeping your core engaged, drive the upward movement with your shoulders. Do not disengage your core or squeeze your shoulder blades excessively.

Goal

Push up until ZeroWheel is at forehead-level. Engage your shoulders by tensing the muscles. Do not overextend your arms or lock your elbows. Do not remove tension between ZeroWheel and the wall—lean slightly forward if ZeroWheel begins to skid or come off the wall.

Rollback

Press and roll ZeroWheel in a straight path downward to hip-level, keeping your arms extended. Stabilize the downward movement with your shoulders and core. Do not disengage your stabilizing muscles.

Summary

The ZeroWheel Front Raise is great for improving shoulder strength and stability, especially for individuals involved in activities like boxing, volleyball, and basketball, where strong, stable shoulders are essential for overhead motions and rapid arm movements. It’s also beneficial for enhancing posture and upper body control.
