Machine Lateral Raises
Sit on the lateral raise machine and adjust the seat height so the pads rest against your upper arms just above the elbows. Grip the handles lightly and press your arms outward against the pads, raising them to shoulder height. Pause briefly at the top, then lower under control. Keep your torso still and avoid shrugging your shoulders.
