How to do a single arm cable y raise

  1. Attach a handle to a low pulley and stand facing the stack.
  2. Hold the upright with one hand and the handle with the other.
  3. Keep your arm straight with a slight bend in the elbow.
  4. Raise your arm up and slightly out until it is overhead in a Y line.
  5. Lower slowly to the start.

Form tips

  • Keep your torso upright and avoid leaning or swinging.
  • Lead the movement with your shoulder, not your wrist.
  • Control the eccentric rather than letting the cable pull you back.
  • Maintain a consistent slight elbow bend throughout.
