1. Standing Cable Shoulder Press

• Primary target: Anterior and medial deltoids
• Setup: Low pulley, single-handle grips

2. Seated Cable Rear Delt Fly

• Focus: Posterior deltoids
• Position: Sit facing low pulley
• Movement: Pull hands backward at 45-degree angle

3. Cable Upright Row

• Targets: Deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids
