Alternating Cable Front Raise
This isolation movement targets the anterior deltoids using constant cable tension to build shoulder strength and definition.
HOW TO DO IT
- Stand facing a low pulley with a single handle in one hand.
- Keep your elbow straight or slightly bent throughout the movement.
- Raise the handle forward and up until your arm is parallel to the floor.
- Lower the weight slowly back to the starting position.
- Switch hands and repeat the motion with the opposite arm.
COMMON MISTAKES
- Using body swing to lift the weight.
- Raising the arm higher than shoulder level.
- Bending the elbow excessively during the raise.
TIPS
- Lead the movement with your knuckles, not your elbow.
- Keep your torso rigid to prevent swinging for momentum.
- Pause briefly at the top to maximize time under tension.
