Cable Front Raise instructions
Step-by-step instructions
1
Stand in front of a cable machine, facing towards it. Make sure the pulley is set to its lowest position.
2
Grasp the cable handle with one hand (or both hands for a double-handed version), keeping your palm down.
3
Start with your hand in front of your thigh and slowly raise it up until it's in line with your shoulder. Your arm should be straight but not locked at the elbow.
4
Keep your core engaged and avoid swinging your body for momentum as you lift. This can lead to back strain.
5
Lower your arm back to the beginning position in a controlled movement and repeat for the programmed number of reps.
