I first came across this exercise some time ago in an old Coach John Davies article, however I didn’t actually try them out until a recent comment by John.
The movement itself really is as simple as the name suggests. Grab a plate by the sides (angled down a bit, as if driving a bus) and straighten your arms in front of you. Raise it until you’re looking through the hole, and lower it again. That’s it.
As this is pretty close to an isolation exercise (for the anterior deltoid) I tend to slip these in after a bit of pressing.
