Sounds dumb, but I have not tried these. Will be adding a set or two at the end of shoulder day though as to avoid a “swift front raise straight to the face”!! Ha,Ha!! But Seriously, Good article Mark & Thank You!!!

lol aaaah my English sucks, thanks Mark. i have been starting volume 2 from the beginning and i love it … again. volume 1 is so hard with the super sets. when i got sick i lost so much time and a little weight, but now i look a little more ripped. Will give a update soon. Thanks for everything Mark, its a real honor to be using THT.

@Jason. It will bring the biceps into play a little more. Here’s what I want you to try: Keep the wrists pronated but have more of a bend at the elbows. Try a 30 degree bend and see if this takes the clicking sensation away.

@Tam. Front Raises are already in the exercise bank (last shoulder exercise as of Oct 1st 2012). Until THT 4.1 comes out, add a set or 2 of these to the end of your shoulder workout.

@Eddie. It’s the pecs, man! 😉 But no don’t do this instead of lateral raises. They target a different head so this would be in addition to them. Add a set or 2 of these to the end of your shoulder workout.

Hey Mark, I can’t do these with the overhand grip as you show in the video. With that grip there is slight internal rotation of the humerus and causes a clicking sensation in my right shoulder on the way down. I have found by using hammer grip front raises doesn’t cause this problem at all and I can go all out. Do you think this adjustment changes the effect on the exercise? Thanx bro!!

Mark, where does this fit in with the current Tht workout? I’ve used it in other workouts… Is it to be added to the exercise bank? Tam

@Richard. This is def a finisher move, so add to the end.

Nice one Mark! Not immediately sure where I’m going to put this exercise, as am currently doing 3x barbell press, 3x dumbbell press, 3x cable lat raises. Maybe add at end of shoulder work-out, if/when I need to squeeze out any available energy I might have left 🙂

Can’t wait for THT4.1 either!! Wish it was a 5.0 🙂 but am really keen to see whatever updates you have provided. Thanks in advance……

@Ren. No probs, bud. 4.1 coming real soon 🙂

Thanks dude. I started incorporating a lot of controlled loose form into my workouts after i read about it on your site. It just feels more natural and more powerful due to my body actually moving in a natural form. You rock buddy. Can’t wait for 4.1
