How to: Cable Single Arm Lateral Raise
- Stand next to the cable machine, gripping the handle with your outer arm.
- With a slight bend in your elbow, lift your arm out to the side until it reaches shoulder height.
- Pause for a moment at the top of the movement.
- Lower your arm back down slowly to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes

Modifications
- Use a lighter weight if unable to maintain form.

Tips
- Keep your core engaged to maintain balance throughout the movement.
