Cable Seated Lateral Raise

Technique

How to perform Cable Seated Lateral Raise

1. Place a bench between two low pulleys and attach a handle to each cable.
2. Sit with your feet planted and lean forward until your torso rests on your thighs.
3. Take each handle in the opposite hand, keeping the cables below your knees and a small bend in your elbows.
4. Open your upper arms outward until they are approximately level with your shoulders relative to your bent torso.
5. Keep your chest supported and your elbow bend steady rather than rowing the handles toward you.
6. Bring your arms back under control.
