Cable Front Raise – Alternating

Overview

The cable front raise is an exercise that targets the front deltoids (shoulder muscles)

Description

First, place both cable pulleys as low as you can, then grab the handles in each hand and position yourself facing away from and in the middle of the pulleys. Move slightly forwards, then have your arms down by your side and slightly behind you.

This is the starting position.

From here extend one of your arms forward and up until the arm is at shoulder height or as far as you can. After this, slowly return the arm back to the starting position. Repeat on the other arm. Once you have done both this is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.

If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping aids or D-Ring Aids clipped straight into the carabiner to make this exercise as safe as possible.
