Cable Lateral Raise

Form Cues

• Attach a D-handle to a low cable pulley.

• Stand sideways to the cable so the working arm is on the far side of your body.

• Grip the handle with the hand of the working arm so the cable runs across your body.

• Start with the handle near your opposite hip, arm slightly bent.

• Raise the arm out to the side in a wide arc, stopping at shoulder height.

• Lead with the elbow and pinky finger up — as if pouring out a glass of water.

• Lower with control, resisting the cable all the way back to the start.

• The cable provides constant tension through the full range — no dead spot at the bottom like with dumbbells.

• Complete all reps on one side before switching.
