A great exercise for targeting the anterior (front) head of your deltoid, with a secondary muscle mover being the clavicular head of your pectoral muscles (upper chest)!
Also an exercise that recruits a lot of core activation, being you need to constantly keep your core tight while raising the weight.
Video Demonstration:
Form:
Feet placement around shoulder width apart.
Core tight throughout exercise.
Shoulders rolled back, chest up.
Hold the plate equally on each side, roughly towards the middle.
Allow a slight bend through your elbows when raising the weight. On the way up, imagine a string pulling through your elbows.
Raise the plate past face level.
Repeat repetitions until failure of form or strength.
Pro Tip:
Look to add drop sets to this exercise for a wicked finish after your last working set!
