peaks tension in the stretched position, unlike dumbbell lateral raises where
the weight is essentially unloaded at the bottom
constant resistance throughout the range of motion due to the cable angle
Execution
Stand perpendicular to a cable machine with the pulley set to the lowest
position. Grab the handle with your working hand on the side closest to the
cable, letting your arm hang across your body in the stretched position. Lean
slightly forward at the waist.
raise your arm out to the side, leading with your elbow
keep your wrist, elbow, and shoulder in line as you lift
stop when your arm reaches parallel to the floor
lower the weight back down, letting your arm travel fully across your body to
maximize the stretch at the bottom
pause briefly in the stretched position to milk the tension
