Pulley Front Raise Seated

The pulley front raise seated workout is designed to primarily engage the shoulders.

By using a pulley system, the workout targets the deltoid muscles for maximum shoulder activation.

The pulley allows for a controlled and smooth movement, reducing strain on auxiliary muscles.

This exercise is effective for building shoulder strength and improving overall shoulder stability.

Sit on a bench or chair with your feet flat on the floor and your back straight.
Grasp the pulley handles with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
Keep your elbows slightly bent and your arms extended in front of you, parallel to the floor.
Exhale and slowly raise the pulley handles by lifting your arms straight out in front of you.
Continue lifting until your arms are parallel to the floor, shoulder height.
Inhale and slowly lower the pulley handles back to the starting position, keeping your arms extended and parallel to the floor.
Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Start by adjusting the pulley machine to a height that allows you to sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle, ensuring proper alignment and stability.
Grasp the handles of the pulley machine with an overhand grip, keeping your hands shoulder-width apart, and position your arms straight down in front of you, palms facing your thighs, ready to engage those powerful shoulder muscles.
As you exhale, slowly raise your arms forward and upward, maintaining a slight bend in your elbows, until they are parallel to the floor, forming a “T” shape with your body. Feel the tension in your shoulders as you contract those deltoids, engaging them to their fullest potential.
Hold this position for a brief moment, focusing on squeezing your shoulder blades together and keeping your core engaged to maintain stability. Feel the burn as your shoulders work hard to support the weight and maintain proper form.
Finally, inhale as you slowly lower your arms back down to the starting position, maintaining control and resisting the weight’s pull. Remember to keep your movements smooth and controlled throughout the exercise, avoiding any jerking or swinging motions that could compromise your form and potentially lead to injury.
