How to do it

  1. 01

    To begin, stand on an exercise band so that tension begins at arm's length. Grasp the handles using a pronated (palms facing your thighs) grip that is slightly less than shoulder width. The handles should be resting on the sides of your thighs. Your arms should be extended with a slight bend at the elbows and your back should be straight. This will be your starting position.

  2. 02

    Use your side shoulders to lift the handles to the sides as you exhale. Continue to lift the handles until they are slightly above parallel. Tip: As you lift the handles, slightly tilt the hand as if you were pouring water and keep your arms extended. Also, keep your torso stationary and pause for a second at the top of the movement.

  3. 03

    Lower the handles back down slowly to the starting position. Inhale as you perform this portion of the movement.

  4. 04

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

In the app

Lateral Raise - With Bands appears when you own bands and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have bands

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
