How to: Cable Front Raise (rope attachment)
- Attach a rope to a low pulley on a cable machine.
- Stand facing away from the machine, holding the rope with both hands.
- Lift the rope in front of you, arms straight, until your hands are at shoulder height.
- Pause for a moment, then slowly lower the rope back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Using excessive weight, leading to poor form.
- Arching the back excessively during the lift.
- Swinging the weights instead of using muscle control.
Modifications
- Use lighter weights or perform the exercise seated to reduce strain on the lower back.
- Perform a partial range of motion if full range causes discomfort.
Tips
- Keep your back straight throughout the movement.
- Engage your core to maintain balance and stability.
