Plate Flips
- 1 - Choose a weight plate that is suitable for your fitness level. A lighter plate is often recommended for beginners.
- 2 - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the weight plate with both hands in front of you.
- 3 - Hold the plate with an overhand grip, fingers placed on the top surface, and thumbs on the bottom. Your palms should face down.
- 4 - Using your wrists and forearms, flip the plate upward, allowing it to rotate in the air. The goal is to catch it with the opposite side facing up.
- 5 - As the plate flips, be prepared to catch it with the opposite grip – fingers on the bottom and thumbs on top. Your palms will now face up.
- 6 - Focus on a smooth and controlled flipping motion. Start with a manageable height and speed, gradually increasing difficulty as you become more proficient.
- 7 - Once you catch the plate, you can immediately initiate the next flip. Aim for a fluid and continuous movement.
- 8 - Be cautious not to flip the plate too high or too fast, especially if you are new to this exercise. Start with small flips and increase intensity as you gain confidence.
