BeginnerOtherIsolationStaticStrength
How to do it
- To begin, stand straight while holding a weight plate by the ridge at arm's length in each hand using a neutral grip (palms facing in). You feet should be shoulder width apart from each other. This will be your starting position.
- Lower the plates until the fingers are nearly extended but can still hold weights. Inhale as you lower the plates.
- Now raise the plates back to the starting position as you exhale by closing your hands.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions prescribed in your program.
