How to perform Cable Front Raise with proper form
Setup
- Equipment: Use a cable machine with a single handle attachment.
- Position: Stand facing the cable machine with feet shoulder-width apart.
- Adjustment: Set the pulley to the lowest position.
Execution
- Grip: Grab the handle with an overhand grip (palms facing down).
- Starting Position: Step back slightly to create tension in the cable. Hold the handle at thigh level with your arm extended downwards.
- Raise: Keep your arm straight and raise the handle in front of you to shoulder height. Your torso should remain upright and stable.
- Control: Slowly lower the handle back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
Tips
- Breathing: Exhale while raising the handle and inhale while lowering it.
- Wrist Position: Keep your wrists neutral and avoid bending them.
- Engagement: Focus on engaging your shoulder muscles rather than using momentum.
- Body Position: Avoid leaning back; keep your core tight to maintain stability.
Common Mistakes
- Raising the weights too high beyond shoulder height.
- Using excessive body momentum to lift the cable.
- Not maintaining a straight arm throughout the movement.
Following this form will help maximize the effectiveness of the Cable Front Raise while minimizing the risk of injury.
