Lateral Raises

I think you'll find this is a nice exercise for sculpting shoulders and maintaining shoulder health! Be sure your resistance band has tension at all times to get the most out of this movement.

Suggested sets and reps: 8-15 reps, 2-4 sets, 3 times per week.

ADDITIONAL EXERCISES:

• Dumbbell - You can perform these as demonstrated in the GIF below with elbows bent. However, you can also do these with arms straight! But do not lock the elbows; maintaining a slight bend is always important, especially if you're hypermobile.

• Adjust the cable handles so they are very low - You can do one arm at a time as shown in the GIF, or if you have access to a wide double stack, cross the cables and do both arms together.

• Deltoid machine - All machines have instructions on them; follow the suggestions for settings.
