Cable side lateral raise
The cable side lateral raise is an exercise that targets the deltoid muscles (shulder muscles), particularly the lateral or side portion. This exercise helps to build shoulder width and strength, and offers consistent tension throughout the movement due to the cable resistance.
Sådan gør du
Stand beside a cable machine with the pulley set to the lowest position. Attach a single handle to the pulley.
Hold the handle with your outside hand (the hand farthest from the machine) and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Your arm should be slightly bent, and your palm facing your body.
Keeping your core engaged and torso stable, lift your arm to the side until it is parallel to the floor. Maintain a slight bend in your elbow throughout the movement.
Slowly lower the handle back to the starting position, resisting the weight on the way down.
Complete the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other side.
Focus on using controlled movements and avoid using momentum to lift the weight. This ensures the shoulder muscles are effectively engaged.
