Watch our step-by-step video guide to master the cable lateral raise and build strong, sculpted shoulders.

How to Do Cable Lateral Raises?

Choose a weight that you can lift comfortably with one shoulder.

Stand next to the cable machine. You can keep your feet together or shoulder-width apart, using the machine for support if needed.

Hold the handle in front of your body. With a slight bend in your elbow, raise your arm to the side until it’s in line with your shoulder.

Keep your wrist neutral and avoid rotating the arm. Focus on contracting your medial deltoid. Pause at the top, then lower your arm slowly and with control.

What Muscles Do Cable Lateral Raises Work?

• ✅ Medial Deltoid (middle part of your shoulder)
