How to do it

  1. Stand tall holding a weight plate by its sides, like a steering wheel, in front of your thighs.
  2. Brace your core and raise the plate straight in front of you to about shoulder or eye height.
  3. Keep a slight bend in your elbows and don't lean back or swing the plate up.
  4. Lower it slowly back to your thighs.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
