According to Official Guinness Records,

The most weight lifted by lateral raises in one hour was 19,600 kg (43,210 lb) by Eamonn Keane (Ireland) at Louisburgh Gym in Louisburgh, Ireland, on 1 February 2011.A lateral raise is defined as standing upright and lifting dumbbells in each hand laterally with the shoulders so that the upper arm performs a 90-degree angle to the rest of the torso. 19 of the repetitions at the end of the attempt were discounted as they were not lifted to proper technique (the shoulders/upper arms were raised forward as opposed to laterally).
