HANGING CABLE LATERAL RAISE

The hanging cable lateral raise exercise is used to strengthen shoulder abduction. Start by using the lowest setting on a functional trainer. Place one hand on the functional trainer and place both feet near the base of it. Use your other hand to hold onto a handle grip that’s attached to the cable pulley system. Extend the arm gripping the functional trainer to lean out to the side to get into starting position. Raise your arm up to the side to pull the cable. Raise the arm within the scapular plane and until you reach shoulder height.

Muscles involved:

  • lateral deltoid

  • supraspinatus

Related conditions:

  • rotator cuff tendinitis

  • shoulder impingement

  • supraspinatus tendinopathy

  • supraspinatus strain

  • biceps pulley strain
