The Shoulder Raise primarily targets your Shoulders, with support from your Lats. No equipment needed — train it anywhere.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Shoulder Raise slots into a plan built for your goal — sets, reps and progression auto-suggested, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly review that adapts what comes next.
