How to: Cable Lying Cross Lateral Raise
- Lie on your side on the floor or a bench, facing the cable machine.
- Grab the handle attached to the cable with the hand on the upper side.
- With your elbow slightly bent, lift the handle laterally towards the ceiling.
- Pause at the top of the movement, then lower it back down with control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and switch sides.
