Anterior Raise targets the front of the shoulder, the Anterior Deltoid. The anterior deltoid works along side the pectorals during chest exercises and the medial deltoid during shoulder exercises.
The anterior deltoid is involved in shoulder abducted when the shoulder is externally rotated.
The tibialis anterior muscle does the following:
Dorsiflexes the foot.This means that the tibialis anterior muscle bends the ankle such that the angle between the top of the foot and the lower leg decreases (i.e.

Anterior knee pain syndrome
Triggers: Running, skiing, hitting the StairMaster every time you go to the gym.
Up to 25 percent of women will at some point suffer from anterior knee pain syndrome (sometimes called runner's knee).
Anterior Deltoid:The front head of the shoulder muscle flexes and rotates the arm inward. The anterior delts are important in bench pressing, other chest training, and are usually also stimulated from triceps and biceps exercises.

ANTERIOR: Anatomiacal term meaning toward the front. Same as ventral. Opposite or posterior.

ATROPHY: A decrease in the cross sectional size of a muscle.
Anterior Raise: this stimulates the front portion of the delts and can also be performed with palms facing the front of your thigh or palms facing each other in front of your thigh.
Anterior Pelvic Tilt - The pelvis is tilted in such a way to increase the curvature of the spine. In other words, the top of the pelvis is tipped toward the front.
Anterior pelvic tilt is characterized by a shortening of the hip flexor muscles and the lower back muscles and a lengthening of the hamstrings and abdominal muscles.
ANTERIOR TIBIALIS
The small muscle group on the front side of the lower leg, which runs along the shins, is referred to as the anterior tibialis. They help us to run, jump and flex our foot forward and backward.

1) Anterior Cruciate (ACL) Ligament Injury
Ligaments are strong, elastic bands of tissue that connect bone to bone. They provide strength and stability to the joint. The ACL is one of four ligaments connect the femur and tibia: ...
Tibialis anterior and ankle extensor muscles: These muscles, which run along the anterior side of each shin, raise the toes and foot during the leg's forward motion (or "swing") phase.
The serratus anterior muscle looks like fingers pointing from your ribs to your six-pack (raise your arms, and you may be able to see yours). It's vital for healthy shoulders and makes you look especially ripped.

TARGET MUSCLES: ANTERIOR DELTIODS
BENT OVER LATERAL RAISES-
Sit on a bench and lean forward so the upper body is parallel to the floor. Tighten your abdominals to help protect your back. Grasp dumbbells lightly, palms facing in.
FRONT SHOULDER (Anterior deltoid)
Military press
This movement produced the greatest activity in the front of the shoulder, with very little difference reported between the wide and narrow grip.
Flexion [back to top] Anterior exercises or trunk movements performed in the sagittal plane around a transverse axis.
Three rats of the first group (exercised group) were injected beneath the epidermis of tibialis anterior muscle with 1 mg muscle extract in one leg an hour after exercise.
For example, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee connects the kneecap to the femur (thigh) and the tibia (shin). Ligament injuries can be sprains or tears.

deltoids, delts the shoulder muscles, which are divided into three heads: anterior, medial, and posterior deoxyribonucleicacid (DNA) the chemical, typically formed into chromosomes, that forms the chemical basis of genetics and heredity.
"Eleven adult female subjects aged 22-39 years wore a certain brassiere for 3 months while anthropometry and moire fringe photographs on the anterior trunk were taken regularly once a week.
The flat bench press works the mid portion of the pectoralis major muscle as well as the anterior deltoid muscle. If the term 'bench press' is used, it is generally assumed to be a flat bench press.
This muscle has three parts, anterior deltoid (the front), medial deltoid (the middle), and posterior deltoid (the rear). Different movements target the different heads.
Your shoulder muscles, which include the anterior, lateral and posterior deltoid are responsible for a variety of arm movements and also work as stabilizers for chest exercises like pushups, bench presses flies.
- Perform an exercise called the Anterior Tibialis Raise on 2-3 non-consecutive days per week. Anterior Tibialis Raise: Let your legs hang off the end of a flat bench; hold a dumbbell between your feet. Pull your toes up towards your shins and lower.

In this way you emphasize a complete stretch of the anterior deltoid. Each arm should be fully extended. (A) Raise one weight straight forward and up in a wide arc it is even with your eyes.

You can see the repercussions of anterior pelvic tilt on skeletal alignment. The lumbar spine becomes excessively arched and the thoracic spine develops a kyphotic (rounded/hunch back) alignment.
Anterior loading forces your core and posterior muscles to prevent the weight from pulling you forward. This is a great alternative to build strength and speed if you are uncomfortable loading your spine directly.
Often, people create or exacerbate muscle imbalances by training anterior muscles (the ones they can easily see in the mirror), with little regard for the body's posterior muscles. All torso training should include back exercises.

Prime movers/Muscles worked: Pectoralis major, anterior deltoids, deltoid
Beginning Phase:
Start face-down on the floor with arms extended and shoulder width apart, back flat and feet together.

The antagonist muscle to the two major calf muscles is called the tibialis anterior. It's a small and relatively weak muscle compared to the major calf muscles (the gastrocnemius and the soleus) and not particularly useful for doing Supersets with.
This is a basic shoulder exercise that works the anterior (front) delts and the triceps. It also works the upper chest and upper back as secondary muscles.
Ligament - A flexible, non-elastic tissue that connects bone to bone. For example, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee connects the kneecap to the femur (thigh) and the tibia (shin). Ligament injuries can be sprains or tears.
Deltoids (Delts) - The deltoids are the shoulder muscles and have three distinct parts: front (anterior head), back (posterior head) and middle (lateral head). Each of these parts of the delts are used during different movements.
Deltoid: The muscle group of the shoulder. Three parts: front (anterior), side (medial), and rear (posterior). "Delts" for short.

It is particularly interesting to note that neither exercise, regardless of variation, produced tension in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the site most commonly associated with knee problems.

anterior cruciate ligament (ACL): The ACL connects your femur to your tibia at the center of the knee. It helps control forward motion and rotation, like keeping your shinbone from sliding out in front of your thighbone.
VERY IMPORTANT are the knees remaining over the feet or have they moved into a valgus position. Valgus positioning is extremely detrimental to the anterior cruciate ligament and must be avoided at all times during the lift.
