Machine Lateral Raises
How to do it
- Sit in the machine with your upper arms against the pads.
- Set the seat so the pivot lines up with your shoulder joint.
- Push the pads out and up to shoulder height.
- Lower under control.
- The fixed path means you can go to failure safely, which is exactly what this muscle wants.
