Weight-Plate Lu Raise

Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a light weight plate in each hand by your sides.

Engage your core, keep a slight bend in your elbows, and maintain a proud chest throughout the movement.

Raise the plates out to the sides and continue sweeping them upward in a wide arc above your head.

Pause briefly at the top position with your arms extended overhead near your ears.

Lower the plates slowly along the same wide arc back down to your starting position by your sides.
