Single-arm lateral raise using a low cable pulley, providing consistent tension on the medial deltoid throughout the movement.

The cable lateral raise builds lateral deltoid endurance with constant tension, supporting HYROX Wall Balls and overall shoulder resilience.

Movement

A cable lateral raise moves the arm outward against cable resistance. Cable height, body position, arm path, range and load alter shoulder demands; the movement does not isolate one deltoid region completely.

Programming

Set the cable and range for controlled pain-free motion and choose load from goal and response. No universal arm angle prevents shoulder symptoms. The exercise does not guarantee broader shoulders, injury prevention or HYROX® performance.
