CABLE FRONT RAISE

Learn How To Do Cable Front Raise And Its Benefits

HOW TO DO CABLE FRONT RAISE

Starting Position: Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart. Grasp the cable handle with an overhand grip, and position the cable at the lowest setting. Stand tall with your shoulders relaxed and your core engaged.
Form: Exhale as you lift the cable handle forward and upward, keeping your arm straight but not locked. Aim to raise your arm to about shoulder level or slightly below, reaching a position where your arm is approximately parallel to the floor. Hold this position for a brief moment to maximize muscle engagement.
Personal Trainer Tips:
- Focus on maintaining proper neck and shoulder position throughout the exercise. Avoid shrugging your shoulders upward as you lift the weight.
- Engage your shoulder blade muscles to keep your shoulder blades down and back, preventing excessive elevation of the shoulders.
- Keep your lower back stable by engaging your abdominal muscles. Avoid arching your lower back or using momentum to lift the weight.
- If you feel fatigued, resist the urge to compensate by moving your hips or lower back. Maintain proper form and control throughout the movement.
Variations: If you don't have access to a cable machine, you can perform front raises with resistance bands or dumbbells to achieve a similar motion and target the same muscle group.

CABLE FRONT RAISE – BENEFITS

Shoulder Development: The cable front raise is a highly effective exercise for targeting the anterior deltoid, the front portion of the shoulder muscles. By lifting the weight in a forward and upward motion, you isolate and strengthen the front deltoids, contributing to overall shoulder development.
Constant Tension and Resistance: Performing front raises with a cable machine provides constant tension and continuous resistance throughout the entire range of motion. This consistent resistance helps fatigue the muscles more efficiently and promotes greater strength gains over time.
Muscular Balance and Stability: In addition to targeting the anterior deltoid, cable front raises also engage the stabilizing muscles in the shoulders. Strengthening these stabilizing muscles helps improve shoulder stability and muscular balance, reducing the risk of injury during daily activities and sports.
