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