A single-arm cable lateral raise done leaning away from the machine, which lengthens the side delt at the bottom.

Set a cable pulley to its lowest position and attach a single handle.
Stand side-on to the stack and grip the machine upright with your near hand.
Take the handle in your outside hand with a neutral grip across your body.
Straighten the supporting arm and lean away from the stack until your torso is angled out.
Raise the working arm out to the side with a slight elbow bend until it reaches shoulder height.
Lower slowly back across your body, then finish the set and switch sides.

Leaning so far that the supporting arm hauls you upright, which turns the raise into a row.
Shrugging at the top, which passes the load from the side of the deltoid to the upper traps.
Bending and straightening the elbow through the rep, which quietly shortens the working lever.
Dropping the handle back fast, which skips the lengthened position the lean was set up to create.
