Description

The cable front shoulder raise is an isolation exercise that targets the front deltoids to help improve shoulder strength and stability.

Starting Position

Stand in an upright position facing a cable machine. Grasp the handle with an overhand grip and the cable at a low setting with your arm by your side.

Technical Execution

Raise the cable in front of you with a slightly bent elbow until your arm is parallel to the ground. Slowly lower the cable back to the starting position.

Range of Motion

Focus on a full range of motion by lifting the cable until the arm is parallel to the ground and lowering it back down under control.

Variations

1. Perform the exercise with a dumbbell instead of a cable. 2. Use a resistance band for added resistance. 3. Try different grip variations to target the front deltoids from different angles.

Common Mistakes

1. Using momentum instead of controlled movements. 2. Lifting too heavy of a weight leading to improper form. 3. Not maintaining a straight back and stable core.

Practical Advice

Focus on engaging the front deltoids throughout the movement. Use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with strict form. Control the weight and avoid swinging the body.

Additional Notes

This exercise is great for building shoulder muscle endurance and shaping the front deltoids.
