Leaning Cable Lateral Raise
How to Perform:
Stand close to the cable machine with the handle attached to the low pulley. Grab the machine or nearby object with your opposite hand for stability.
Hold the cable handle with the hand farthest from the machine and step slightly away from the machine. Lean your body away, creating tension on the cable while keeping a slight bend in the knees.
With your palm facing inward, start with your arm at your side.
Exhale and raise your arm out to the side, keeping a slight bend in the elbow. Lift until your arm is parallel to the floor, focusing on engaging the shoulder muscles.
Inhale and slowly lower the weight back to the starting position with control.
Complete the desired repetitions, then switch sides.
Benefits:
Targets the Lateral Deltoid: This exercise isolates the middle part of the shoulder, helping to build width and definition.
Improves Shoulder Stability: By engaging the shoulder muscles through a controlled range of motion, it can enhance overall shoulder stability.
Reduces Risk of Injury: Strengthening the deltoids through controlled movements helps to protect the shoulder joint from injury.
Enhances Posture: Stronger shoulders contribute to improved posture and alignment by stabilizing the upper back and shoulders.
