exercise_detail.how_to_perform
- Set the cable machine to the lowest setting and attach a single handle.
- Stand sideways to the machine, grasping the handle with the hand furthest from the machine.
- Step away from the machine and lean slightly towards it, maintaining a stable stance.
- With a slight bend in your elbow, raise your arm laterally until it is parallel to the floor.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the handle back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and switch sides.

exercise_detail.tips
- Keep your core engaged to maintain stability throughout the exercise.
- Avoid using momentum; focus on controlled movements for maximum muscle activation.
- Maintain a slight bend in your elbow to reduce stress on the joint.
- Ensure your shoulder does not shrug upwards during the lift; keep it down and relaxed.
- Breathe out as you lift the weight and inhale as you lower it back down.
exercise_detail.common_mistakes
- Using too much weight, causing momentum to take over and reducing muscle activation.
- Leaning too far away from the cable, which shifts focus away from the target muscles.
- Raising the arm too high, leading to shoulder impingement risk.
- Allowing the wrist to bend, causing strain and reducing effectiveness.
- Failing to maintain a slight bend in the elbow, which can stress the joints.
- Neglecting to engage the core, resulting in poor balance and control.
- Lifting the shoulder instead of isolating the deltoid, reducing exercise effectiveness.
- Dropping the arm too quickly on the eccentric phase, losing tension on the muscle.
