How to do it

Setup

Plate held at the sides like a steering wheel, arms long.

Steps

  1. Raise the plate to eye level with straight arms.
  2. Pause.
  3. Lower under control.

Common mistakes

Leaning back as the plate rises: quiet torso. Elbows bending: long arms carry the wheel. Swinging from the hips: dead stops.

Breathing

Exhale on the raise, inhale lowering.
