Cable Single Arm Lateral Raises are a popular exercise among fitness enthusiasts looking to build strong and defined shoulders. This exercise offers several benefits, including improved shoulder mobility, better posture, and reduced risk of shoulder injury. By using a cable machine, you can create constant tension on the muscles throughout the entire range of motion, leading to better muscle activation and growth. Additionally, performing the exercise with one arm at a time helps to correct any imbalances between the two sides of your body. In this article, we will take a closer look and provide a step-by-step guide on how to perform the exercise correctly, as well as tips on how to modify it to suit your individual fitness goals.
How to perform Cable Single Arm Lateral Raises
- Place a handle attachment onto a low cable pulley.
- Stand side onto the machine with your right side being closest.
- Adopt a shoulder-width, upright standing position and maintain a straight back throughout.
- Reach across your body and take hold of the handle with your left hand. This will be your starting position.
- Initiate the movement by exhaling and elevating your left hand on a wide arc out to your side.
- Keep a slight bend at your elbow and continue to elevate upward until your arm is parallel with the floor.
- After a brief pause, inhale and return your arm along the same path back to the starting position.
