Dumbbell front raise with a cable machine

Raise the arms in the required plane to a range you can control without shrugging. Lower slowly while keeping the neck relaxed. Prioritize control over speed. Maintain useful tension through the range and deliberately reset the starting position before the next repetition.

Do not turn the final repetitions into fast or partial movements. Aim to load abdominals and shoulders without sacrificing position; at intermediate level, progress control first and then add load, repetitions or complexity. Keep resistance continuous and avoid letting the cable or band suddenly go slack.
