Hold a straight handle with a shoulder-width grip attached to a low cable. Keeping the trunk braced tightly, lift the handle up with straight arms to above shoulder height, then lower again under control.
 
Purpose
The cable front raise strengthens the anterior and lateral delts primarily without taxing the chest or triceps, so is useful for adding shoulder work without taxing other body parts more than desired. The cable variation keeps a more continuous level of tension on the shoulders throughout the range of motion than the barbell or dumbbell variations.
 
Programming
Generally sets of 8-20 reps are appropriate.
