Cable Side Lateral Raise

Note: If you are viewing exercise videos on a mobile device, please switch to horizontal view for the best experience.

As you might’ve noticed, many of the deltoid exercises incorporate cable machines found in your local gym. The Cable Side Lateral Raise is an extremely good way to place pressure on your shoulder muscles to develop and enhance them. So, the starting position is sideways on to the cable machine with the cable itself held in your left hand. Place your right hand on the cable machine and lean out as you pull the cable further away. It is important to maintain the same rigid position as you pull the cable away from the machine as far as possible, extending beyond your shoulder. Once you have done a number of repetitions, simply reverse the starting position and use the right arm to exercise the right shoulder deltoids.
