RussianAbout this machine
This machine provides directed shoulder work from a stable position. Pressing and lateral raising solve different tasks and are not substitutes for each other. Start with a load that does not make the shoulders rise toward the ears.
Muscles worked
- Main load: Back.
- Stabilization: trunk muscles help hold position.
- Should not hurt: joints or lower back. If they do, reduce load and check setup.
How to set up
- For the Pure Kraft Shoulder Lateral Raise, first check its source-listed detail: has a source-listed target muscle focus.
- Adjust the seat and thigh hold-downs so the body does not lift during the pull.
- Choose the grip that matches this machine's movement.
- Start with the arms extended without losing shoulder-blade position.
- Use the chest or torso support when the model provides one.
How to perform
Main exercise: lateral raise.
- On the Pure Kraft Shoulder Lateral Raise, move smoothly through this model's working path.
- Keep the shoulders down instead of pulling only with the arms.
- Pause at the end without leaning far back.
- Return slowly while keeping tension in the back.
Common mistakes
- Leaning back to move the weight instead of pulling with the back.
- Shrugging the shoulders and loading the neck.
- Bending the elbows before the shoulder blades engage.
- Letting the handles fly forward on the return.
- Ignoring this model-specific detail: has a source-listed target muscle focus.
