The reputation of Hammer Strength equipment has been built with steel, sweat and grit. Hammer Strength is the choice of professional athletes when they train at the highest levels, and it’s relied upon by the top college and high school athletic programs in the country. Hammer Strength is the No. 1 option for elite athletes because it can take the pounding they dish out, and, most importantly, it’s designed to provide results. It isn’t reserved just for professional training facilities or college weight rooms. Everyday athletes benefit from the excellent biomechanical design in the same way that the pros do. Hammer Strength isn’t exclusive. It can be used to reach the fitness goals of anyone willing to put in the hard work. Hammer Strength is committed to making innovative equipment for developing champions. Hammer Strength is built on the pure performance of plate-loaded strength equipment. Independent natural paths of motion were revolutionary nearly three decades ago when Hammer Strength originated. Plate-loaded equipment still employs these excellent biomechanics to create the ideal training tool for elite athletes and those who want to train like one. More than 40 machines mean plenty of different ways to move iron against gravity.
A Hammer Strength Plate Loaded Lateral Raise is, and can best be described as follows: A Lateral Raise is a plate-loaded or selectorized piece of gym equipment designed to strengthen the shoulder muscles when the user lifts the loaded or selected weight upward and away from the body until the elbows reach shoulder level.
