Cable Front Raise – Single Arm

Overview

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

Description

First, place the cable pulley as low as possible, then grab the handle in one hand and position yourself facing away from the pulley. Move slightly forwards, then have your arms down by your side and slightly behind you.

This is the starting position.

From here extend your arm forward and up until the arm is at shoulder height or as far as you can. After this, slowly return the arm to the starting position. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount. Once you’ve done all the reps on one arm, if required in the program and you are able to do so, repeat the exercise and the repetitions with the other arm.

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.
