How to do Plate Raises:
- Grab the weight more suitable for you.
- Grab the outsides of the plate as if it was a steering wheel and raise it out directly in front of you.
- Hold this pose for the desired amount of time.
Plate raises has to be one of the easiest and most effective exercises you can do. All it takes is weight plate suitable to your strength and then you are good to go. This exercise not only targets your shoulders, but your back as well. On top of that, it also makes you engage your core to maintain good posture throughout the duration of the exercise.
When doing this exercise, I will superset it onto another exercise to increase the overall intensity. This is a great add on exercise, especially if you do it for 15 seconds after cranking out a set of dumbbell shoulder press.
Incorporate this exercise into your weekly back and shoulder routine to see the results you’ve been working towards.
