Cable Front Raise

Cable Front Raise Instructions

• Have access to either a straight bar or two free handles attached to a cable machine.
• The pulley must be set on the lowest possible setting.
• Face away from the machine and stand grabbing the handles/bar with palms down.
• The cable will be coming through your legs.
• Feet positioned in an athletic stance slightly outside shoulder-width. Your knees are slightly bent and toes pointed straight ahead. 
• Your core is braced and engaged with your shoulders pinned back. 
• Using your delts, raise the handles/bar up slowly to shoulder height with your arms slightly bent.
• Your arms are a lever for your delts. Don't use momentum or other musculature to complete the exercise.
• Don't shrug your shoulders, keep your strong posture. 
• After a brief pause, slowly lower to the starting position.

*Tips*

• Use a lighter weight for this exercise as the focus of it is really on isolating the delts.
• Don't shortcut the exercise, perform through a full range-of-motion.
• Don't pull the weight vertically like an upright row.
