Front Delts
Set the pulley to the lowest position and attach a single handle or a short bar.
Stand about a step in front of the machine with your back to it and the cable running past your outer thigh.
Hold the handle with a straight arm in front of your thigh, torso tall, abs braced.
Raise the arm straight forward to shoulder height with only a small elbow bend.
Hold for a second, then lower slowly back in front of your thigh without letting the cable go slack.
Leaning the torso back to lift the weight.
Bending the elbow so it turns into a half curl.
Standing too close so the cable goes slack at the bottom.
Raising overhead so the tension shifts to the traps.
The cable keeps tension constant, so run 12-15 reps at the end of a shoulder session.
Using a short bar with both hands is a steadier option.
