High-Cable Lateral Raise
Description
Stand next to a cable machine with the pulley set to waist height.
Grab the opposite-side handle with the hand farthest from the pulley, keeping your palm facing in.
Keep your core engaged, chest lifted, and shoulders relaxed. Maintain a slight bend in the elbow throughout the lift.
Lift your arm out to the side until your elbow reaches shoulder height, keeping your wrist aligned with your elbow.
Briefly pause at the top, then slowly lower the handle back to your side with control. Repeat for the desired reps.
