Cable Y raise

Expert Advice

Control the weight throughout the entire movement and avoid using momentum to lift the handles, which can lead to shoulder injury.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand facing the cable machine with the pulleys set to the lowest position.
  2. Grasp the handles with your palms facing each other and step back into a staggered stance.
  3. With straight arms, raise the handles diagonally above your head, forming a 'Y' shape.
  4. Slowly lower the handles back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
