Lateral Raises - Machine

Description

Lateral raises completed on the machine allows for greater shoulder stability. To complete a lateral raise, first adjust the seat so that the knees are bent at right angles. Straighten the upper body and contract the core. Place the elbows against the pads, keeping them slightly bent. Contract the shoulders and guide the lever arms of the machine outward and upward. Pause in the top position, then return the lever arms of the machine slowly and symmetrically to the starting position.
