Bent-Over Cable Rear Lateral Raise



Exercise:

Bent-Over Cable Rear Lateral Raise

Target Muscle:

Shoulders (Rear)

Secondary Muscle:

Traps

Equipment Needed:

Central cable machine with low pully

Proper Execution:

Place your feet about shoulder width apart and bend over at the waist until your body is parallel to the ground. Grip the handle, and while keeping your back flat and knees bent, raise the weight out to your side until your upper arm is slightly higher than your shoulder. Lower the weight over the same path and continue until you reach muscular failure.

Tips:

You should be in complete control of the weight at all times and it is very important that you avoid using jerky motions or body momentum to lift the weight. You'll have to go fairly light on this exercise in order to allow for a full range of motion and maximal stimulation of the rear shoulders.
