How to Do Resistance Band Lateral Raise

  1. Attach a resistance band close to the floor. Stand close to the anchor point, with the arm holding the resistance band facing away from it.
  2. With control, lift the band outwards to your side, until your upper arm is horizontal.
  3. Lower the arm with control.
  4. Repeat for reps, then switch sides.

Commentary

This is an exercise where it is easy to pick a weight that is too heavy. Rather err on the lighter side, and strive for a strict form where you focus on getting good contact with your delts.
