Cable Front Raise

How to do Cable Front Raise

• Set the pulley low, take the handle or bar with an overhand grip and stand with your back to the machine so the cable runs between your legs.
• Raise the handle forward with almost straight arms until it reaches shoulder height.
• Pause for a second with the ribs down and no lean back.
• Lower slowly without letting the stack rest; the cable keeps tension at the bottom, which is the point of this version.

These are the same steps you see in the exercise guide in the Flawless app.
