The Cable Front Shoulder Raise exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the front deltoid muscles of the shoulders. This exercise is performed using a cable machine with a low pulley attachment.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Front Shoulder Raise exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and a slight bend in your knees.
2. Hold the handle attachment in one hand with an overhand grip, palm facing down.
3. Position your arm so that it is extended straight out in front of you, parallel to the floor.
4. Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise.
5. Slowly lift the handle attachment straight up in front of you, leading with your elbow, keeping your arm straight.
6. Lift the handle attachment until your arm is just above shoulder height.
7. Pause at the top of the movement and squeeze your front deltoid muscles.
8. Slowly lower the handle attachment back down to the starting position.
9. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other side.
Remember to maintain control throughout the movement and avoid using momentum to lift the weight. Start with a lighter weight to ensure proper form and gradually increase the weight as you build strength. It is essential to breathe regularly and never hold your breath during this exercise.
