ABSTRACT:
A lateral raise exercise machine includes a frame, a seat and backrest supported by the frame along a vertical midplane and two levers pivotally connected to the frame on opposite sides of the midplane behind the seat and backrest. Each lever includes a hub adapted to hold at least one removable weight, a counterweight mounted opposite the pivot point from the hub, a connector that extends forwardly alongside the backrest and seat, and an actuating pad mounted at a forward end of the connector. The levers pivot about axes that converge forwardly toward the vertical midplane. With the forearms engaging inner surfaces of the actuating pads, an exerciser supported on the seat and backrest may pivotally raise the levers upwardly against the weight supported on the hubs via a lateral shoulder abductive motion, thereby to exercise the deltoid muscles.
