Weighted Plate Lu Raise
The Lu raise with a light plate in each hand, gripped by the rim, carried from the sides to overhead.
How to do it
Setup
Stand tall, a light plate in each hand gripped at the rim, arms at the sides.
Steps
- Raise the plates out to the sides on straight arms.
- Continue above the head while the ribs stay down.
- Lower the plates slowly back to the sides.
Common mistakes
Pinch grip failing overhead: lighter plates, a firm grip. Leaning back to finish: stop where the torso stays tall. Elbows bending on the way up: long arms.
Breathing
Exhale raising, inhale lowering.
