What are common variations of the Lever Lateral Raise?

• Cable Lateral Raise: In this variation, you use a cable machine which can provide a more consistent resistance throughout the entire range of motion.
• Seated Lateral Raise: This variation is performed while sitting down, which can help isolate the shoulder muscles and prevent the use of momentum.
• Bent Over Lateral Raise: This variation targets the rear deltoids, as you are bent over at the waist while performing the exercise.
• One-Arm Lateral Raise: This variation is performed one arm at a time, allowing you to focus on each shoulder individually and potentially identify and correct any imbalances.
