Exercise Description

The cable seated rear lateral raise builds your rear deltoids and improves shoulder stability. It fixes rounded shoulders and creates balanced shoulder development.

How To

1. Set the cable machine to chest height and attach single handles to both sides 2. Sit on a bench facing the cables, grab both handles with arms crossed in front of your chest 3. Pull the cables apart in a wide arc, leading with your pinkies during the cable seated rear lateral raise 4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the cable seated rear lateral raise movement 5. Slowly return to starting position with control and repeat for desired reps

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and shoulders back throughout the entire cable seated rear lateral raise movement • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together rather than just moving your arms • Use a slow, controlled tempo - don't rush the cable seated rear lateral raise • Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the entire range of motion

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and letting momentum take over the cable seated rear lateral raise movement • Allowing your shoulders to roll forward or hunching your back during the exercise • Moving too fast and not feeling the cable seated rear lateral raise in your rear delts
