How to do it

  1. 1

    To begin, stand straight while holding a weight plate by the ridge at arm's length in each hand using a neutral grip (palms facing in). You feet should be shoulder width apart from each other. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Lower the plates until the fingers are nearly extended but can still hold weights. Inhale as you lower the plates.

  3. 3

    Now raise the plates back to the starting position as you exhale by closing your hands.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions prescribed in your program.
