Plate Front Raise

How to do it

1. Hold a weight plate with both hands at the sides, fingers gripping the rim at roughly shoulder-width.
2. Stand with feet hip-width apart and brace the core before beginning the raise.
3. Raise the plate straight out in front of the body up to shoulder height, keeping the arms extended.
4. Keep the plate flat and level rather than tilting it as it rises.
5. Lower the plate back down under control to the thighs over the same path.
6. Exhale on the raise and inhale on the lowering phase, avoiding the common fault of leaning back to help swing the plate upward.
