The front delts typically are not an area most trainers have trouble bringing up. After all, the front delts get hammered on incline presses. But that doesn't mean you should skip training them altogether. A great mass-building shoulder exercise that hits the front delts-not to mention the middle delts, and even the upper pecs-is the barbell shoulder press performed with the bar in front of your head. This is a great way to build up the delt/pec tie-ins.
