Cable Isolateral Lateral Raise
The Cable Isolateral Lateral Raise primarily works the Lateral Deltoid, with secondary activation of the Anterior Deltoid, Serratus Anterior, Supraspinatus, Trapezius (Lower), Trapezius (Middle) and stabilizer support from the Levator Scapulae, Trapezius (Upper), Wrist Extensors. It is a cable isolation exercise at intermediate difficulty.

Instructions
- Preparation: With low pulleys to each side, grasp left stirrup with right hand and right stirrup with left hand. Stand upright. Execution: With elbows slightly bent, raise arms to sidesuntil elbows are shoulder height. Lower and repeat. Comments: Maintain fixed slightly bent elbow position throughout exercise. Height of cable pulley may be adjusted to mid-thigh height to increase load throughout initial range of motion while decreasing it near terminal range of motion. Stirrup is raised byshoulder abduction, notexternal rotation. Also see Cable Lateral Raise performed withpulleys very close together.
