Technique

How to perform Single-Arm Front Cable Raise

  1. Attach a single D-handle to a low pulley and stand facing away from the machine.
  2. Hold the handle in one hand in front of your thigh with your palm toward the thigh and a slight bend in the elbow.
  3. Keep your torso still and raise the arm forward, maintaining the elbow angle as the palm turns to face the floor with the arm's elevation.
  4. Stop with the arm slightly above shoulder height rather than leaning back to lift farther.
  5. Lower the arm under control to the front of the thigh.
  6. Complete the repetitions, then repeat with the other arm.
