PRO 2 LATERAL RAISE (PSLR) Muscles Exercised – Anterior and Middle Deltoid
Setup
Adjust the seat height so that the shoulder joints are aligned with the machines
pivot points, indicated by the red axis of rotation decals. Sit facing the machine
griping the handles and positioning the elbows at the sides or slightly in front of
the body. Check the weight stack to ensure appropriate resistance. Body is
positioned with chest-up, leaning forward against the chest pad.
NOTE: If the seat is adjusted properly, the pads should not slide on the arms
during the exercise.
Performing the Exercise
With a controlled motion extend the elbows out to the sides until they are even
with the shoulders. Return the pads to the start position, without letting the
resistance rest on the stack. Repeat the motion, while maintaining proper body
positioning.
TIP: While performing the exercise, think about extending the elbows out to the
side in a large arc, as this increases the mental concentration on the Deltoids.
