Dumbbell Lateral Raise
Dumbbell Lateral Raise works your deltoid muscle with assistance from the supraspinatus and trapezius muscles.
INTERMEDIATE
One-Arm Cable Lateral Raise
One-Arm Cable Lateral Raise works the middle head of the deltoid muscle, which is the rounded muscle at the top of each shoulder.
Instructions
- Stand beside the cable pully machine with the handle set to the lowest position. The working side of your body should be closer to the handle. With the arm outside, reach for the body, grasp the handle and stand with the arm fully extended and the legs facing forward. Hold the machine with your inside hand for extra support.
- With your elbow slightly bent, raise your arm to shoulder height. Pause, then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.
Tips
- Don't let your arm go past shoulder level at the highest point.
