Front delts loaded the whole way up.
Keep your torso still, don't lean back to swing the handle up.
Raising a handle from a low pulley behind you loads your front delts from the very start of the rep, where a plate or free weight would hang slack, and keeps resistance on them all the way to shoulder height. The fixed cable angle also makes it harder to cheat with a swing, since the tension exposes any drop in control. It earns a place when you want direct front delt work with the smooth, honest resistance only the stack provides.
Often not, pressing hits front delts hard. But if yours lag visually or you're in a phase with little overhead work, a couple of controlled cable sets a week fills the gap without much fatigue.
With the cable running from behind and below, the pull stays on your delt through the entire arc, including the bottom where free weights give you a rest. Facing the stack would have the cable dragging into your body instead.
Lighten the stack and slow the lift, then kill the lean, if your torso rocks back, your hips are raising the weight, not your shoulder. A brief pause at shoulder height every rep keeps you honest.
