Lateral Raise - 4530 - CYBEX VR2 Owner's And Service Manual

Lateral Raise
The Machine
• Placement of Resistance - The Lateral
Raise decreases the dangers of excessive
shoulder joint shear by placing the resistance
at the elbow. The elimination of the chest pad
allows for more precise alignment of the
resistance with the fiber direction of the lateral
deltoid.
• Plane of Motion - The long input arms
combined with a swivel handle allow for
smooth shoulder abdjuction and maximum
pad contact.
• Variable Resistance - A cam provides
appropriately varying resistance that
decreases at the end of the range of motion,
where that lateral deltoid has less mechanical advantage.
• 10 TO 205 POUNDS BY FIVES - The top plate provides the minimum weight of ten
pounds. Subsequent plates in the stack are twenty pounds each. Three "slide-on" five
pound increment plates are securely positioned for Easy access and effortless addition
thereby providing 10 to 205 pounds in Five pound increments.
The Shoulders
• Abduction - The lateral deltoid is responsible
for abduction of the shoulder joint.
• Scapular Retraction - The position of slight
scapular retraction, when maintained, creates
improved force angles for the deltoid
throughout the range of motion. The
movement may also be performed for more
functional training, by allowing the scapular
motion.
• Range of Motion - When the upper arm is in
neutral rotation, the range of abdustion is
90° at the shoulder joint. Further range of
motion is prevented by the contact of bone
processes in the shoulder.
