Cable Lying Front Raise
Lying with the feet to a low pulley, raise the bar from the thighs to over the chest; the cable pulls even at the top.
How to do it
Setup
Face up on the floor, feet to the low pulley, straight bar on the thighs.
Steps
- Raise the bar with straight arms toward the ceiling.
- Stop when the arms point straight up.
- Lower slowly to the thighs against the cable.
Common mistakes
Elbows bending as the cable pulls: long arms, a lighter stack. Lower back arching off the floor: ribs down, knees bent. Plates touching down between reps: keep the pull on at the thighs.
Breathing
Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
