How to: Cable Front Raise
- Stand facing away from the cable machine with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Grab the cable handle with one hand and pull it down to your thigh.
- Lift the handle straight in front of you until your arm is parallel to the floor.
- Pause for a moment at the top, then lower the handle back to the starting position.
- Complete the desired number of repetitions and switch arms.
Common Mistakes
- Using too much weight, which can lead to injury.
- Lifting with momentum rather than using muscle control.
- Failing to maintain proper form throughout the lift.
Modifications
- Use lighter weights or adjust the cable resistance if you experience discomfort.
- Perform the exercise seated to stabilize your back.
Tips
- Keep your back straight and engage your core throughout the movement.
- Lift the cables slowly and control the movement to avoid injury.
