Cable front raise
- Attach a handle to the bottom of the cable machine. Stand facing away from the machine and hold the handle with one hand in front of your thigh.
- Keep your arm straight and lift the handle forward until it reaches shoulder height.
- Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position. Complete your reps, then switch to the other arm.
Tips
- Keep your elbow straight but not forcefully locked throughout the lift so the handle travels in a clean arc from your thigh to shoulder height.
- Stand far enough from the machine that the cable pulls at a low angle behind you, keeping tension on the working arm throughout the movement.
- Lower the handle in a controlled manner on the way down rather than letting it drop quickly back to the start.
Common mistakes
- Swinging the torso forward or backward to help lift the handle, rather than keeping the trunk stable and moving only the arm.
- Bending the elbow as the handle rises, which shortens the lever and changes the intended straight-arm movement.
