Weighted Standing Hand Squeeze
Standing with a plate hanging from one hand by its grip hole; the fingers squeeze to draw it up a little and let it settle back.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, a plate at one side, the fingers hooked through its grip hole.
Steps
- Squeeze the fingers to draw the plate up toward the palm.
- Keep the wrist straight and the arm long.
- Relax the fingers slowly until the plate hangs from them again; switch hands after the set.
Common mistakes
Shrugging or bending the elbow to lift the plate: the arm hangs; only the fingers work. Letting the plate slide to the fingertips: keep the fingers hooked through the hole. Leaning away from the plate: stand tall and square.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
