Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The cable seated rear lateral raise targets the rear deltoids, improving shoulder strength and stability. This exercise is performed from a seated position, ensuring isolation of the deltoid muscles, and requires a cable machine to provide constant tension throughout the movement.
How to do it
- Sit on a bench facing a cable machine and grab the handles attached to the lower pulleys.
- Bend forward slightly at your hips, keeping your back straight, and let your arms hang down with a slight bend in the elbows.
- Raise your arms out to the sides until they are parallel to the floor, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Lower the handles back to the starting position with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining tension throughout the movement.
