Machine lateral raise: how to do it
1 of 3
Upper arms against the pads
Starting position
Adjust the seat so your shoulders line up with the machine's pivot, place your upper arms against the pads and grip the handles.
The movement
Move your elbows out and up to shoulder height, then lower the pads with control.
Most common mistake
Don't shrug your shoulders toward your ears, keep them down and press evenly against the pads.
