Cable Front Raise
A straight bar on the low pulley behind you, raised forward in both hands with tension held all the way.
How to do it
Setup
Back to a low pulley, the cable between the feet, a straight bar overhand in both hands at the thighs; stand tall.
Steps
- Raise the bar on straight arms to shoulder height.
- Hold a beat at the top.
- Lower to the thighs with the cable still loaded.
Common mistakes
Leaning back to lift: quiet torso, ribs down. Bending the elbows: long arms, soft joints. Racing the negative: the cable loads it; use it.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
