Cable Bent-Over One Arm Lateral Raise

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a cable handle in one hand. Bend slightly at the hips, keeping your back straight.

With your arm extended down, raise the cable handle out to the side until your arm is parallel to the ground.

  1. Engage your core throughout the movement.
  2. Lower the handle back to the starting position with control.
  3. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Cable Bent-Over One Arm Lateral Raise

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Cable Bent-Over One Arm Lateral Raise using your cable.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your rotator cuff.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your rotator cuff rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
