Cable Lateral Raise

BeginnerCable

The Cable Lateral Raise hits the side delts using a low pulley instead of dumbbells. Because the cable keeps tension on the muscle throughout the whole range, and lets you fine-tune the angle of resistance, it can feel more consistent than free weights. Working one arm at a time also makes strength differences easier to spot and fix.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the pulley to its lowest setting and clip on a single handle.

  2. 2

    Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart, turned so one side faces the machine.

  3. 3

    Reach across with the outside arm and grab the handle, palm facing in, and brace your core.

  4. 4

    Keeping a slight elbow bend, raise the handle out to the side up to shoulder height.

  5. 5

    Lower it under control back to the start, then turn around and work the other side.
