Cable Lateral Raise
How to Do:
Setup:
Attach a handle to the bottom of a cable machine. Stand sideways to the machine and grasp the handle with the hand farthest from the machine using an overhand grip.
Starting Position:
Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, your core engaged, and your arm resting by your side.
Raise:
Exhale and lift your arm out to the side, keeping a slight bend in your elbow. Raise the handle to shoulder height or until your arm is parallel to the floor.
Pause:
Hold briefly at the top of the movement, focusing on engaging your shoulder muscles.
Lower:
Inhale and slowly lower your arm back to the starting position with control.
Repeat:
Perform the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other arm.
Benefits:
The cable lateral raise isolates the lateral deltoid, helping to build shoulder width and strength. The constant tension provided by the cable ensures a smooth and consistent resistance, making this an effective exercise for targeting the shoulders. It also improves stability and overall upper body aesthetics.
