Do THIS On Lateral Raises

For the longest time, cable lateral raises (of any kind) felt odd regardless of how I adjusted the resistance and my arm path.

My shoulders felt “clunky” or I had forearm or elbow pain with the motions.

Making one change to my cable-raising motions fixed that weirdness for good.

And while I’m not exactly sure how or why this technique worked for me, I think it’s worth giving a shot, regardless of who you are.

Instead of grabbing the cable handle normally, like this:

Loop the webbing of the handle over the top of your palm, like this:

This change will take some stress off the hand and forearm, making it easier to manage the raising motion up the elbow into the shoulder.

It might seem like a “small” change, but subtle adjustments repeated over many reps, sets, weeks, and years of training don’t end up so small in their impact in the long term.
