3b. WEIGHT PLATE PINCH RAISE

Reps: 10-12 Rest: 60 secs, then repeat 3a Sets: 3

Stand holding a pair of light weight plates (2.5kg should do) together at chest height.

Not got plates? Hold a dumbbell end over end instead – pressing it hard between your hands.

Keeping the plates pressed firmly together, slowly extend your arms straight out and slightly up until your elbows are completely locked out.

The aim of the game here is to go slow and purposeful – you’re using light weights, so need to make the contraction count.
