Plate Push
Hands on a weight plate on a smooth floor, drive it forward from a low sprint position; a sled push with a plate.
How to do it
Setup
Hands on a plate lying flat on a smooth floor or turf, hips low, arms straight.
Steps
- Drive the plate forward with short, quick steps.
- Keep the hips low and the back flat.
- Stop, turn and push back to the start.
Common mistakes
Hips rising higher than the shoulders: stay low and drive forward. Arms bending as you push: keep them straight; the legs do the pushing. Long reaching steps: short steps under the hips.
Breathing
Steady with the steps.
