Bent Cable Side Lateral Raise is a great exercise that targets the shoulders muscle (the rear delt) as the primary mover. The exercise will be explained in detail along with video and image demonstrations to know exactly how to get the most out of this shoulder exercise.
Fitness level:
Intermediate-advance
Needed Equipment:
Important points
1)Select a weight and hold the handle of the low pulley with your right hand.
2)Bend at the waist until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor. Your legs should be slightly bent with your left hand placed on your lower left thigh. Your right arm should be hanging from your shoulder in front of you and with a slight bend at the elbow. This will be your starting position.
3)Raise your right arm, elbow slightly bent, to the side until the arm is parallel to the floor and in line with your right ear. Breathe out as you perform this step.
4)Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position as you breathe in.
5)Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions and repeat the movement with the other arm.
Variations:
You can perform this exercise with dumbbells or exercise bands.
Common Mistakes
1- Moving the arm below 90 degrees (it will hit the upper back if you do that)
2- Not keeping the back straight.
3- Doing the movement too fast, especially on the negative side of the movement.
4- Bending the elbows as you move your shoulders.
