Coach's Tips

Y-raises work your upper back, lower traps, and shoulder stability all at once

How to Cabel Y Raise

Starting Position

1. Set up two cables at a low position and hold the handles with both hands.

2. Step forward slightly so that the cables are slightly pulled, and bring your arms together in front of your body.

Proper Form

1. Raise your arms diagonally upward to form a Y shape with your elbows slightly bent.

2. Contract by feeling like you are bringing your shoulder blades together and down.

3. Slowly return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you raise your arms and inhale when you lower them.

Precautions

1. Engage your core to prevent your back from arching.

2. Maintain a feeling of lowering your shoulders to avoid concentrating tension only in your trapezius muscles.
