Pulley Front Raise Seated Tips

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
