Front Plate Raise - Images
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. 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. As you inhale, slowly lower the plate back down to the starting position.
4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Variations: You can use dumbbells, barbells, cables or exercise bands to perform this movement.
