Technique

How to perform Cable Front Raise

  1. Attach a straight bar to the low pulley and stand facing the machine.
  2. Take an overhand grip and hold the bar in front of your thighs with a slight bend in your elbows.
  3. Raise your arms forward to about shoulder height while keeping the elbow bend steady and your torso still.
  4. Maintain the overhand grip, so your palms face downward at the top, and allow your shoulder blades to move naturally.
  5. Lower the bar smoothly to the starting position without leaning back or swinging.
