Low Pulley Bent-Over Lateral Raises

Low Pulley Bent-Over Lateral Raises

Stand with your feet spread and your knees slightly bent. Bend forward at the waist, keeping your back straight and your arms hanging down. Hold a handle in each hand with the cables crossing each other:

- Inhale and raise your arms to the sides until your hand are slightly above the level of your shoulders

- Exhale as you complete the movement

This exercise works the deltoids, especially the posterior delotids. At the end of the movement, when you pinch your scapulae together, you emphasize the trapezius (medial and inferior portions) and the rhomboids.
