Front Plate Raise

A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.

Instructions

• Grab a weight plate with both hands, and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Keep your core tight and raise the plate in front of you with straight arms until it's at shoulder level.
• Lower the plate back down slowly, maintaining control.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Swinging the plate up using momentum instead of controlled strength.
• Letting the elbows bend during the raise which shifts the effort from the shoulders to the arms.
