Cable Single Arm Lateral Raise

Positioning

1. Stand next to a cable machine. Adjust the pulley to the lowest setting.
2. Attach a single handle to the pulley.
3. Grasp the handle with one hand, keeping your palm facing your body.
4. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and slightly bend your knees.
5. Position your body so that the cable starts from behind you.

Movement

1. With your arm straight but not locked, raise your arm out to the side until it is parallel to the ground.
2. Keep your elbow slightly bent throughout the movement.
3. Engage your shoulder muscles and avoid using momentum; focus on a controlled movement.
4. Hold the position at the top for a moment.
5. Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the weight as you lower your arm.
6. Complete the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides and repeat with the other arm.

Tips

- Avoid leaning or swaying your body during the raise.
- Keep your core engaged to maintain stability.
- Use a light weight to start, and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement.
