How to do it
Cross-body cable lateral raise
Cable lateral raise that keeps continuous tension on the middle delt through the whole arc.
Form. Cross the handle in front of your body, raise in a smooth arc and lower without turning the torso.
Common mistake. Shrugging your shoulders, pulling with the upper trapezius, or swinging the load.
