Cable Front Raises Straight Bar

4 steps Updated 29/08/2026

Cable Front Raises Straight Bar is a resistance exercise targeting Shoulders (Anterior Deltoids).

Step by step

How to perform it

  1. Attach a straight bar to a low pulley on a cable machine. Stand facing away from the machine, with your feet shoulder-width apart and the bar held with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
  2. Stand upright with your back straight and core engaged. Let the bar hang down in front of your thighs with your arms fully extended and the cable passing between your legs.
  3. Raise the bar in front of you to shoulder height, keeping your arms straight but with a slight bend in the elbows.
  4. Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
