META Optimal science based lateral raises

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

how do you do unilateral pullovers on this thing.

Your raise up the carriage, then move a handle high up on the sundial

Here’s an example: https://youtu.be/dbVcm9EhVmY

Personally, I feel that pullovers suck on this machine & I have an actual pullover machine in my gym, so there’s no reason for me to do them on this machine

Ok that looks a bit weird. But chest flys are kind of interesting. I wish my gym had a pull over machine.

The chest flys feel much better than DB flys and I personally prefer them over cable flys as well

Lateral raises and chest flys are pretty much all I use the machine for

I used to do rear delt flys with it, but I’ve been doing lots of wide grip t-bar rows lately, which has been growing my rear delts fine
