Sets: 3–4 · Reps: 10–20 per side

Side-lying lateral raise is a regression of Poliquin Lateral Raise. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The controlled arc keeps the deltoid responsible for lifting the arm while a steady torso prevents the legs and trunk from taking over.
