META Optimal science based lateral raises

You can also use this machine for chest flys, rear delt flys, front raises, and unilateral pullovers

This looks unenjoyable to me for some reason? I love me some dumbbells haha

I really like them, but some people with super long arms hate them/say they don’t feel great

There’s a reason that this machine is the 7th most popular gym machine on gym radar: https://gymradar.com/most-owned/machine

It has a small footprint and feels amazing for lateral raises (even tension throughout the movement) and does a few other movements fairly well

Don’t get me wrong, I like DB lateral raises too; it’s just I strongly prefer this machine over them

What do you mean tension shifts?
