The 2 dumbell variations -
front raise hammer grip - (similar to hammer curls) or the standard front raise
Which is more effective?
-
I prefer standard.
Actually i have been doing front raises with a 45lb (20kg) plate. An exercise Charles Glass recommends. I just do a couple of sets after presses. Really hits the anterior head.
-
the hammer style is more for peple that have shoulder issues. you should play with the grips to see which one feels the best for you
I do the standard or with a barbell.
there are 101 ways to do front raise. two arm, one arm, plate , turning the db's and etc

thumbs up is for front delt,
palm down is for a combo of front delt/side delt.
i prefer palm down because i dont think you really need to build your front delts so much.
a couple sets of a press is all i usually do for front delts.... but i do palm down raises, upright rows, side laterals, a few of my own invnetion movements fo rear delts
-
I used to do only palms down. But now performing the movement start in hammer position and ends palms down.
-
waste of time IMO, but thumbs up is better.

both are basically a waste of time, if your doing heavy pressing movements.

i do hammer grip to the front..if i use a standard grip my tendons roll over and pop. I use a standard grip on teh side laterals though. Both have been great additions to my training and have really put on alot of size for me. I don't do alot of pressing movements for my shoulders because of all the actual benching I do to begin with so laterals are a great addition.
