Step-by-step
- Put two weight plates together with the flat sides facing out.
- Pinch the plates by the edge, with your thumb on one face and your four fingers on the other.
- Keep your back straight, lift the plates off the ground, and hold them at your side.
- Keep standing upright and squeezing the plates without dropping them for 20-30 seconds.
- When the time is up, set the plates down under control.
Coaching tip
Pinch the plates with your fingertips and thumb, not your palm; what really works here is your grip strength.
