Target
Delts

A cable front raise keeps constant tension on the front delts through the entire lift, unlike a dumbbell version where the bottom of the rep briefly unloads under gravity. Because front delts are heavily worked by nearly every pressing exercise already, this is usually a small addition rather than a cornerstone shoulder movement. Swinging the cable using momentum is the most common way lifters cheat the rep short.

How to Do the Cable Front Raise

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grasp the cable handle with an overhand grip.
  2. Keep your back straight and your core engaged.
  3. Raise the cable handle in front of you, keeping your arms straight and your palms facing down.
  4. Continue lifting until your arms are parallel to the floor.
  5. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower the cable handle back to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Muscles Worked

The Cable Front Raise primarily targets the Delts, with Triceps as the primary synergist muscle group, along with the Forearms.
