Lying Cable Front Raise Instructions
- Attach a straight bar to a low pulley cable and set the appropriate weight on the stack.
- Grab the bar with an overhand grip around shoulder width apart. Facing the cable, bring the weight off the stack as you lay flat on your back.
- You can press your feet against the cable machine to help stabilize you. You can also place a block in front of the machine.
- Hold the bar down near your waist with your arms extended and a slight bend in the elbows. This is the starting position.
- Keeping your arms extended and your elbows slightly bent, slowly raise the bar until it is almost straight above your head.
- Pause, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
- Repeat for desired reps.
Lying Cable Front Raise Tips
- This is an isolation exercise so it's important to focus on proper technique to isolate the front deltoids.
- Don't let the bar touch your body during the set.
- Keep the rep timing slow, and lower the weight slowly.
- Keep your midsection tight and your back straight. Don't swing to assist in moving the weight up.
- Keep your head flat on the ground and look straight up at the ceiling during the movement.
