The double cable front raise is an isolation exercise which builds muscle and strength in the anterior (Front) deltoids. And using cables makes for a great alternative to using dumbbells as there’s constant tension on the muscle which is important for muscle growth and strength.
Now, this is a good movement for beginners or anyone with more experience since it’s simple and safe. And you can do it at the beginning or at the end of a shoulder routine for the best results possible. So, utilize this effective exercise to target the front deltoids with a different stimulus.
