seated lateral raise

  1. Adjust the seat height to where the input/upper arm pads are just below your shoulders, line your shoulders up with the axis (where the rotation of the input pad occurs) when seated.
  2. Choose a resistance that is "light-ish", which will allow you to drive the upper arm pads to where your arms are parallel with the ground.
  3. Sit down, grab the handles and move your elbows forward slightly in front of your rib cage.
  4. Begin to drive the pads out then up to where your arms are parallel with the ground free of any joint pain.
  5. Slowly let the pads down and then gradually let them come back in while keeping your medial detls/shoulder muscles engaged to the original starting position of the repetition.

  3. Sit down, grab the handles with a neutral grip/palms facing each other, make sure your back is snug against the back pad, begin to press the handles over head, try to keep forearms perpendicular to the ground until your elbows are locked out/straight.
  4. Slowly begin to let the handles down while keeping forearms perpendicular to the ground keeping delts/shoulder muscles engaged to the original starting position of the repetition.
