Cable Y Raise

An isolation shoulder exercise performed using a cable machine with a dual-handle setup, where the movement involves raising both arms upward and outward in a diagonal Y-shaped path. The elbows remain slightly bent while the shoulders move through controlled flexion and abduction. The torso stays stable with core engagement to prevent momentum. The exercise emphasizes smooth lifting mechanics and a slow lowering phase to maintain continuous tension through the deltoids and upper back across the full range of motion.
