The Cable Standing Lift exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the shoulders and core muscles. It involves using a cable machine to perform a lifting motion while standing upright.
How to perform
Here are step-by-step instructions for performing the Cable Standing Lift exercise:1. Adjust the cable machine to a low position and attach a handle or rope to the cable.
2. Stand facing the cable machine with your feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent.
3. Grasp the handle or rope with one hand and engage your core muscles.
4. Keeping your arm straight and your shoulder down, lift the handle or rope upward in a diagonal motion across your body, rotating your torso slightly.
5. Hold the position for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the handle back down to the starting position.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions on one side, then switch sides and repeat with the other arm.
7. Perform 3-4 sets of 10-12 repetitions on each side, with a 30-60 second rest between sets.
8. Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability and control. Adjust the weight on the cable machine as needed to challenge yourself while maintaining proper form.

Cable
Cable equipment consists of adjustable pulleys attached to weight stacks that allow for resistance training. This equipment is commonly used for strength training exercises that target various muscle groups in the body, such as chest, back, arms, and legs. Cable equipment provides a versatile and functional way to perform exercises that mimic real-life movements, improving muscle endurance, stability, and coordination.
