What Front Raise (Cable) trains
Technique
How to do the Front Raise (Cable)
- Attach a straight bar or single handle to the low pulley of a cable machine. Stand facing away from the machine with the cable running between your legs, holding the attachment in front of your thighs with an overhand grip.
- Keeping your arms straight, raise the attachment forward and upward until your hands reach shoulder height.
- Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the attachment back to the starting position with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form cues
Getting it right
- Maintain a slight bend in your elbows to protect the joints.
- Avoid using momentum or leaning back; lift with your shoulders only.
- The cable keeps constant tension on the muscle, so control the lowering phase fully.
- Exhale as you raise the weight and inhale as you lower it.
