Cable Lateral Raise

The lateral raise with tension everywhere — cables load the delt even at the bottom, where dumbbells sleep.

Setup

1. Low pulley at your side, handle in the FAR hand, lean slightly away.

How To Do It

1. Raise the arm out to shoulder height, elbow soft.
2. Lead with the elbow, pinkie slightly up.
3. Lower three slow seconds — the cable fights you the whole way.

Breathing

Exhale raising.

Common Mistakes

• Shrugging into it — shoulder stays down, delt does the lifting.
• Standing square — the slight lean-away is the secret.
