Gym Exercise Card

Equipment

Cable
Cable

The cable one-arm lateral raise targets the shoulders, specifically the lateral deltoids, by lifting the arm away from the body against resistance. It's effective for building shoulder width and strength while also engaging stabilizing muscles in the process.

How to do it

  1. Stand beside a cable machine, feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Grasp the handle with the far hand, palm facing down.
  3. Keeping the arm slightly bent, lift it out to the side until it reaches shoulder height.
  4. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the arm back to the starting position.
  5. Maintain a stable core throughout the movement.
