Exercise Profile

Battle Rope Lateral Raises Overview

The battle rope lateral raises workout is a shoulder-focused exercise that utilizes the battle rope.

During the workout, the battle rope is held with both hands, and the arms are raised laterally, targeting the shoulder muscles.

While the workout primarily targets the shoulders, it also engages the core and arms to a lesser extent.

  4. Simultaneously, swing the battle ropes outward, creating waves in the ropes as you raise your arms.

Battle Rope Lateral Raises Tips

  1. Start with a shoulder-width stance, knees slightly bent, and core engaged.
  2. Hold the battle rope handles with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
  3. Keep your shoulders down and back, away from your ears, to maintain proper posture.
  4. Engage your shoulders by lifting the battle ropes out to the sides, keeping your arms straight.
