Tip: The Barbell Lateral Raise

[01dragonslayer]

Think of this as the garage lifter's lateral raise machine:

LANDMINE LATERAL RAISE​

Start by orienting your body slightly inward, toward the barbell, with the business end aiming at the hip joint of your outside leg. The constrained path of the bar provides some guidance through the motion.

As a bonus, the barbell's rotating sleeve allows you to begin in a position of shoulder internal rotation and end in a position of shoulder external rotation.

Rehab pros might note the similarity between this exercise and the PNF D1 pattern, which incorporates tri-planar movement of flexion, abduction, and external rotation. Keep a slight forward lean throughout the movement.

The landmine lateral raise is a great garage lifter's exercise that mimics a lateral raise machine. Orient your body slightly inward, aiming the barbell at your outside hip joint. The constrained path provides guidance, and the rotating sleeve allows for shoulder internal and external rotation. Keep a slight forward lean and enjoy the benefits of this versatile exercise.
