Controlled lateral raises

With dumbbells, lateral raises are hard to perform cleanly: you quickly start swinging or compensating with your torso. On the PLX-B6150 you sit in a stable position and the movement follows a fixed path, so the resistance stays on your shoulders. With the 70 kg weight stack you increase the load step by step. That makes the machine suitable for beginners who want to learn the exercise properly and for experienced lifters building their shoulder training in a targeted way.

Built for professional use

The frame is made of oval steel tubing of 75 x 118, 50 x 120, 40 x 80 and 50 x 100 mm with a 3 mm wall thickness. A double, scratch-resistant powder coating protects the machine during daily use. Weighing 185 kg, the PLX-B6150 stands firmly, and the maximum user weight is 150 kg. The machine complies with EN20957-1 and EN957-2 class S for commercial use.

The PLX-B6150 measures 111.9 x 116.8 cm and is 166 cm tall. It is a single function machine: you use it for one exercise. For complete shoulder training, combine it with pressing exercises, on another machine or with free weights. Given its weight of 185 kg, choose a permanent spot in advance.

Frequently asked questions about Toorx Professional AVANT PLX-B6150 Lateral Raise

What is the difference between a lateral raise and a shoulder press machine?

On a lateral raise you lift your arms out to the sides, while on a shoulder press machine you push the weight overhead. The lateral raise mainly targets the side of your shoulders. On a shoulder press, your triceps also do a lot of the work. The two exercises therefore complement each other well in a shoulder session.

How do I adjust the PLX-B6150 to my height?

You set the seat height in 6 positions using a pantograph system with aluminium arms. Choose the position in which your shoulder joint lines up with the pivot point of the lever. This keeps the movement smooth and loads your shoulders as intended. You select the weight with the pin in the shielded weight stack.

How much space do I need for the PLX-B6150?

The machine measures 111.9 x 116.8 cm and is 166 cm tall. Allow some extra free space for getting on and off and for operating the weight stack. Thanks to its limited height, it also fits in a room with a standard ceiling.

Is the PLX-B6150 suitable for home use?

Yes, the PLX-B6150 is suitable for both home and professional use. The machine is built to EN957-2 class S and suits users up to 150 kg. At home you do need a solid floor, as it weighs 185 kg. It is especially interesting if you are expanding your home gym with individual, professional strength machines.
