Cable Standing Y-Raise Version II

Setup:

• Stand in front of a cable machine. Adjust the pulleys to the lowest setting.

• Attach handles to each pulley.

• Set the desired weight on the machine.

Starting Position:

• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

• Grasp a handle in each hand.

• Your arms should be straight down in front of you with a slight bend in your elbows.

• Engage your core to maintain stability.

Movement:

• Inhale as you prepare to lift.

• Exhale and raise both arms simultaneously at a 45-degree angle, forming a "Y" shape with your body.

• Keep your elbows slightly bent throughout the movement.

• Raise your arms until they are in line with your ears or shoulder height.

• Hold for a moment at the top of the movement.

Return:

• Inhale as you slowly lower your arms back to the starting position, maintaining control of the weights.

• Avoid letting the weights drop quickly; this ensures muscle engagement throughout the exercise.

Repetitions:

• Perform 10-15 repetitions depending on your strength and fitness level.

• Take a brief rest between sets, if necessary.

Tips:

• Focus on slow and controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement.

• Ensure that your shoulders are relaxed and not shrugged up towards your ears.

• Adjust the weight according to your fitness level to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
