Power Line Lateral Raise - 100 kg Weight Stack

The Power Line Lateral Raise is a selectorised shoulder abduction station with a 100 kg weight stack. It measures 1400 x 1380 x 1655 mm and weighs 220 kg. Padded arm levers fix the axis of the movement at the shoulder, so the lateral deltoid takes the load through the whole range. Professional price: 2,450 EUR excluding VAT.

Isolating the lateral deltoid

A dumbbell lateral raise loses tension at the bottom of the range and invites the trapezius to take over once fatigue sets in. On this machine the seated position and the padded levers hold the trunk and the shoulder axis, and the cam keeps resistance present from the first degrees of abduction. That is the difference between training the lateral deltoid and simply shrugging a weight upwards.

• Selectorised 100 kg weight stack
• Padded arm levers with a fixed shoulder axis
• Adjustable seat height to align the shoulder with the pivot
• Steel weight plates insulated with noise-reducing PVC
• PVC-coated steel cable on high-strength nylon pulleys
• PU foam padding with synthetic leather

Muscles worked

Primary load on the lateral head of the deltoid, with the supraspinatus involved in the first part of the abduction and the upper trapezius contributing as the arms pass shoulder height. Keeping the range below shoulder height concentrates the work on the deltoid and is the usual instruction for a user with any shoulder history.

Set-up

Adjust the seat until the shoulder joint sits level with the pivot of the levers. Rest the forearms against the pads, keep the trunk against the back support and raise under control. As with every isolated shoulder movement, the useful load is lower than users expect, so start light and progress in small increments.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace a shoulder press?

No, it complements it. A shoulder press is a compound movement loading the anterior deltoid and triceps. The lateral raise isolates the lateral head, which a press cannot reach directly. A shoulder zone normally carries both.

Is it suitable after a shoulder injury?

Under supervision, yes. The fixed axis and the seated position remove the compensations that make free-weight raises difficult to control, and the stack allows very small loads. Range should be set by the clinician, not by the machine.

What floor space is needed?

The machine occupies 1400 x 1380 mm. Allow room at the rear for the stack and enough width for the levers to travel fully. At 220 kg, verify the slab capacity on upper floors.
