What muscles does Machine Lateral Raise work?

Machine Lateral Raise trains Shoulders as primary movers (counted as 1.0 hard set per set) and Traps as secondary synergists (counted as 0.5 hard set per set).

What is Machine Lateral Raise called in French, Strong, and Hevy exports?

In French gym logs and Strong/Hevy CSV exports, Machine Lateral Raise also resolves cleanly from Machine Lateral Raise.
