Cable Lateral Raise

Cable Lateral Raise Instructions

• Set both pulley attachments to the lowest notch.
• Grab the left handle with your right hand and the right handle with your left hand.
• Stand in the middle of the two attachment points.
• Feet positioned in an athletic stance slightly outside shoulder-width. Your knees are slightly bent and toes pointed straight ahead. 
• Your core is braced and engaged with your shoulders pinned back.
• Raise (abduct) your arms out in a semicircular motion with your elbows slightly flexed.
• The mind-muscle connection is on the delts controlling the weight.
• Don't shrug or pull the weight up with your elbows.
• Bring the handles to about shoulder height, pause briefly, then lower back down.
• Don't raise above your shoulders. 
• Maintain tension on the cables throughout the full range of motion.

*Tips*

• Keep tension on the delts from start to finish. No momentum or lower body action used to lift the weight.
