How to perform the Cable Lateral Raise (Single Arm)
- 1Stand side-on to the cable machine with the handle set at the lowest point, grab it with the hand farthest from the machine, and stand tall with a slight bend in your elbow and your feet steady. Brace your abs and keep your shoulders relaxed away from your ears.
- 2Raise your arm out to the side until your hand is about shoulder height, pausing briefly at the top, then lower it back down slowly and with control. Breathe out as you lift and breathe in as you lower, keeping the movement smooth and not rushed.
Coach tips
- Lead with your elbow, not your hand, so your shoulder does the work instead of your forearm or wrist.
- Avoid swinging your body or using momentum; if you have to swing, lower the weight.
- Keep your shoulder down and relaxed instead of shrugging it up toward your ear.
