Lu Raise
About
Lift the plate overhead to work your shoulders and upper back.
How to Lu Raise
Starting Position
1. Stand shoulder-width apart and hold the plate on both sides with your hands, placing it in front of your thighs.
2. Slightly bend your elbows and open your chest.
Proper Form
1. Raise the plate in front of your face to above your head, as if spreading your arms wide to the sides and front.
2. When your arms reach the sides of your ears, pause for a moment.
3. Then, slowly lower it back down to in front of your thighs, following the same trajectory.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when lifting, and inhale when lowering.
Precautions
1. If you lift weights that are too heavy, it can put a lot of strain on your neck and shoulders, so start with lighter plates.
2. Do not cheat by leaning back with your upper body; engage your core and lift slowly up and down.
