What is a Plate-Load Lateral Raise Attachment?

A plate-load lateral raise attachment is a piece of equipment designed to be affixed to a power rack, allowing users to perform lateral raises with added weight resistance. It’s an innovative solution for those who want the functionality of a lateral raise machine without the need to invest in bulky, standalone equipment.

Compatibility and Installation

Before purchasing a plate-load lateral raise attachment, ensure it’s compatible with your power rack’s design and dimensions. Our stock model is made to fit the ATX series of racks with a 21mm spaced 50mm apart from centre-to-centre. Installation is straightforward, involving securing the attachment to the power rack with locating pins and a nut. Please note that the arm securing pins are no longer provided as standard, simply to reduce your costs and as they’re not really necessary. 

Benefits of Plate-Load Lateral Raise Attachments

Space-Efficient Design

One of the main advantages of the plate-load lateral raise attachment is its space-saving design. Power racks are already a staple in many home gyms, and by adding this attachment, you can maximise your workout options without taking up additional floor space.

Cost-Effectiveness

Investing in a dedicated lateral raise machine can be costly. The plate-load lateral raise power rack attachment offers a more budget-friendly commercial-grade alternative, despite being well made in Britain, providing the same functionality as a specialist commercial machine at a fraction of the price.

Versatility

This attachment isn’t limited to lateral raises alone. With some creative adjustments, it can be used for various exercises targeting the deltoids, such as bent-over lateral raises or front raises, and other muscle groups, such as lats with single-arm, rows. This versatility makes it a valuable addition to any strength training regimen.

How to Use the Lateral Raise Attachment

Proper Form and Technique

Using the plate-load lateral raise attachment requires attention to form and technique to prevent injury and maximise muscle engagement. Start with a lighter weight to ensure you can maintain control throughout the movement.

Progression and Overload

As with any resistance training, progression and overload are key to muscle growth and strength gains. Gradually increase the weight as your shoulders adapt to the exercise, ensuring consistent progress in your fitness journey.

Conclusion

The plate-load lateral raise power rack attachment is an essential addition for anyone looking to enhance their shoulder workouts. It’s space-efficient, cost-effective, and versatile, making it perfect for home gym setups. Incorporating this attachment into your routine can help you achieve well-defined deltoids and bring variety to your strength training sessions.

Whether you’re a seasoned lifter or just starting, the plate-load lateral raise attachment can help you reach new heights in your fitness goals. Give it a try and experience the difference it can make in your workouts.
