The cable machine is a versatile piece of gym equipment that allows for a wide range of exercises targeting various muscle groups. One such exercise is the Cable Single Arm Frontal Raise, which primarily targets the front deltoids, but also engages other muscles in the shoulder and upper body. To modify this exercise, you can adjust the weight on the cable machine or use different attachments, such as a rope handle or a bar. You can also vary the speed and range of motion of the exercise, or perform it while standing on one leg to challenge your balance and stability. In this article, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to properly perform this cable machine, as well as tips on how to modify the exercise to suit your fitness level and goals.
How to perform Cable Single Arm Frontal Raise
- Place a handle attachment onto a low cable pulley.
- Stand 1 foot in front and face away from the machine. Adopt a shoulder-width, upright standing position.
- Brace your other arm on your lat or behind your back and maintain a straight back throughout.
- Take hold of the handle with the hand closest to the pulley and let it hang perpendicular to the floor. This will be your starting position.
- Exhale and elevate your left arm in an arcing motion in front of you. 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.
