How to perform

Position a cable at the lowest position possible and attach a single handle. Reach across your body and grab the handle with a neutral grip. Keep the elbow slightly bent and pull the handle across your body and raise laterally. Slowly lower the handle back to the starting position under control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Muscles Worked

Side delt

Secondary: Upper trapezius

Tips

Slow the eccentric and keep slack in the cable to maintain delt tension. Keep elbows slightly bent, not locked. For shoulder comfort, try: pinkies higher than thumbs, or rotate arm so thumb points up at peak contraction. Brace abs and avoid arching the back. Keep head neutral and minimize momentum.
