Egyptian Lateral Raise

How to do it

Stand sideways to a cable machine holding a low cable handle.
Lean your body away from the cable to create a greater stretch.
Raise the cable out to the side with a slight bend in your elbow.
Use a 2-second eccentric lowering phase.
Focus on squeezing your lateral deltoid at the top.
The lean creates a longer range of motion than standard lateral raises.
