Cable Lateral Raise

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.
