How to: Lever Lateral Raise
- Adjust the seat height of the leverage machine so that the handles are at shoulder level.
- Sit down with your back straight and feet flat on the ground.
- Grab the handles with both hands and slowly lift them out to the sides until your arms are parallel to the ground.
- Hold for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the handles back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
