Performing bent over lateral raises (cable)
- Attach a single handle to a pulley machine from below.
- Get down on "all fours" and grip the handle with your left hand while being supported with your right hand and knees.
- Make sure your back is straight and parallel to the floor.
- Raise your left hand to slightly above shoulder height, with a slight bend in the elbows, palms facing the floor.
- Hold this position for a brief second while squeezing your shoulder muscles.
- Return to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner.

- Don't use too heavy of a weight that doesn't allow you to use proper form. The weight for this exercise should be light.
