Front Plate Raise

Build shoulder strength with this focused plate lift.

This simple movement helps build control and strength in the shoulders, especially when performed slowly and with good form. A single plate keeps things balanced.

Instructions

  1. Stand upright holding a weight plate with both hands, arms straight and plate near your waist.
  2. Without swinging, raise the plate to just above shoulder height while keeping arms extended.
  3. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the plate back down.
  4. Repeat with a smooth and steady rhythm for the desired reps.
