### **STANDING PLATE PRESS**

 

**Step 1:** To begin the standing plate press, stand with your feet slightly wider then shoulder width apart and your knees bent slightly as well.

**Step 2:** Pick up a weighted plate and hold it at chest level with your elbows bent.

**Step 3:** Push the weight straight out and lock your elbows out.

**Step 4:** Bring the weight back into your chest. This completes one repetition.

**Step 5**: Complete 3-4 sets hitting around 10-12 reps.
