Cable One Arm Front Raise

The Cable One Arm Front Raise targets the shoulders, specifically the anterior deltoid. This exercise helps improve shoulder stability and strength.

  1. Attach a cable to a low pulley.
  2. Stand sideways to the cable machine, grasp the handle with one hand.
  3. With a slight bend in your elbow, raise the handle in front of you to shoulder height.
  4. Lower the handle back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching arms.

How to perform the Cable One Arm Front Raise

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Cable One Arm Front 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 pectoralis major.
  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 pectoralis major 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.
