Primary Muscle: Shoulders
Equipment: Cable
Level: Intermediate
Purpose: To target the posterior head of the deltoid muscle.
Execution: Stand with a wide stance and bend over at the hips grasping a handle attached to a low pulley cable. Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, lift one arm out and back until it is parallel to the ground. Try to pull back through your elbows, keeping them higher than your wrists throughout the motion. It may help to point your thumb down to the floor at the end of each rep. Squeeze at the top of each rep before lowering the weight slowly to the start position. Repeat the same motion for the other arm.
