How to Perform Machine Lateral Raise

Sit on the lateral raise machine and adjust the seat so the pads rest comfortably against the outside of your upper arms. Place your feet flat on the floor and keep your back against the backrest. Begin with your arms resting at your sides. Raise your arms outward by pushing against the pads until your arms are roughly level with your shoulders. Pause briefly at the top while squeezing your shoulder muscles, then slowly lower your arms back to the starting position with control.
