Hammer Strength Plate Loaded Lateral Raise | PL-LR

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”FEATURES” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:45|text_align:left|color:%23441265″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Hammer Strength Plate Loaded Lateral Raise | PL-LR Key Features:

• Engineered around natural lateral motion patterns, the arms move independently in both converging and diverging arcs, providing uni‑ or bilateral training to ensure muscle symmetry and avoid strength imbalances
• The back pad is slanted at ~25°, positioning the medial deltoid in the optimal range for maximum activation and more efficient, controlled movement
• A seated setup minimizes body sway, enabling users to focus on strict form and deliberate reps—great for isolating the target muscle without momentum
• Equipped with 4 plate horns for easy loading, fast transitions, and a clutter-free training area
• Robust 11‑gauge steel with long-lasting electrostatic powder coat finish

The unilateral design of the Hammer Strength Lateral Raise machine allows athletes to work each side independently, reducing the risk of muscular imbalances. This feature is valuable for addressing asymmetries from sport-specific movements or injuries. By isolating each arm, athletes can enhance coordination and control, replicating the unilateral demands of sports like tennis, baseball, and basketball.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”85133″ img_size=”480×319″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Integrated Weight Storage

The Plate Loaded Lateral Raise features four integrated weight plate storage horns, enabling athletes to maintain training intensity by loading and unloading swiftly. This minimizes downtime, keeps the space organized, and ensures you stay focused on building strength and performance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”85134″ img_size=”480×319″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Zero-Grip Workarms

The zero-grip workarms on the Lateral Raise machine eliminate traditional hand grips, reducing forearm and grip involvement to increase focus on strengthening the lateral movement. Promoting effective activation and development is essential for those looking to achieve lateral strength and stability needed for dynamic athletic movements like throwing, spiking, or defensive blocking.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1751919115145{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1751907927953{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1752080479162{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]OPTIMAL ALIGNMENT AND RANGE OF MOTION

The Lateral Raise machine is designed for athletes aiming for performance-ready shoulders. The back pad is angled at precisely 25 degrees to align the medial deltoids for maximum activation, better mechanics, and increased lateral power and stability. The independent work arms offer a natural range of motion that mirrors functional movement by rotating around durable iron castings at a 7 degree angle.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1751907815560{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”85135″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1752080520217{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1751919121575{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-color: #e6e6e6 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1751907815560{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”85136″ img_size=”960×639″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1752080613648{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1751907927953{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1752080557082{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]SEATED FOR A REASON

By minimizing body sway, the seated position ensures every motion is deliberate and efficient, prioritizing controlled movement. This stability allows athletes to focus on proper mechanics, building the strength and coordination essential for smooth, powerful upper-body movements. Ideal for improving control in dynamic sports, it helps develop the precision needed for peak athletic performance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1751910643738{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-image: url(https://fitdir.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/strength-plate-loaded-glute-training-lineup-1.webp?id=84755) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1751910410740{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-color: rgba(47,49,47,0.92) !important;*background-color: rgb(47,49,47) !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1751910519485{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1751910483128{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”]
