Lateral raises on the cable pulley on both arms
The cable pull provides an effective means to train lateral raises with both arms. Thanks to the dynamic execution using the cable pull, this training exercise is suitable for both beginners and advanced individuals. The following sections provide guidance on the optimal body position and execution.
Body position
To perform bilateral lateral raises using the cable pull, position yourself between the two towers. Start by attaching the D-handle or loop to the cables. Now, grab a handle with both hands. Keep your stance upright, with your legs slightly more than hip-width apart. Ensure that your arms are not fully extended, maintaining a slight bend in the elbows.
Movement execution
Initiate the lateral raises on the cable pull by moving your arms away from the body. Exhale as you lift your arms up to shoulder height. Pay attention to maintaining the slight bend in your elbows. Hold the position briefly, then lower your arms slightly downward. Inhale as you return to the starting position before proceeding with the next repetitions.
