How to perform

  1. 1

    While standing straight, hold a barbell plate in both hands at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. Your palms should be facing each other and your arms should be extended and locked with a slight bend at the elbows and the plate should be down near your waist in front of you as far as you can go. Tip: The arms will remain in this position throughout the exercise. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Slowly raise the plate as you exhale until it is a little above shoulder level. Hold the contraction for a second. Tip: make sure that you do not swing the weight or bend at the elbows. Your torso should remain stationary throughout the movement as well.

  3. 3

    As you inhale, slowly lower the plate back down to the starting position.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Important tips

  • Brace your torso so your lower back stays neutral.

  • Move through the shoulder joint — never momentum.

  • Control the weight on the way down as much as up.
