Cable Rear Lateral Raise

Instructions

Preparation

Stand with cable columns to each side. Grasp left stirrup with right hand and right stirrup with left hand. Bend knees slightly and bend over at hips so torso is approximately horizontal.

Execution

Raise upper arms to sides until elbows are shoulder height. Maintain upper arms perpendicular to torso and fixed elbow position (10° to 30° angle) when arms are raised and lowered to sides. Lower and repeat.

Comments

Upper arm should travel perpendicular to torso to minimize latissimus dorsi involvement.
