How to do it

The bent over cable lateral raise is a great exercise for building strong shoulders and targeting your rear deltoids and the use of a cable machine offers consistent resistance compared to a dumbbell bent over raise.

Steps :

1.) Start off attaching a handle to a cable machine and stand with your side facing the machine.

2.) Bend slightly at your knees to get in the bent over position without bending at your back.

3.) Take the cable hand with your arm furthest from the cable machine as this arm will be going across the front of your body.

4.) Slowly raise your arm across your body and out to the side, continuing until your arm is level with the ground.

5.) Hold onto this position for a count then return back to the starting position. Switch sides when done.
