Instructions

Stand next to a cable pulley machine with the handle attachment adjusted to the lowest setting. With the outside arm, reach across your body, grab the handle and stand straight up with your arm fully extended and feet facing forward. Grip the machine with your inside arm for support. Now place your feet close to the pulley machine, allowing you to lean away from the machine. Maintaining a slight bend in your working elbow, raise your arm up to shoulder height, then lower the weight back to the starting position. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions and repeat on the other side.

Tip

Leaning away from the machine allows your lateral deltoid to work through a greater range of motion, compared to standing up straight. Making it a more effective exercise.
