Plate Triple Crush

Overview

The weight plate triple crush is a unique exercise that targets the triceps, shoulders and biceps. It involves performing three different movements that challenge the different muscles, providing a comprehensive workout for this muscle group.

Description

Let's get started by grabbing your weight plate and having it on your lap.

This is the starting position.

Then with both hands curl the plate up to your chest by flexing at the elbow. Once here press the plate up and over head. Then, lower the plate behind your head, by flexing at the elbows. When the arms are as low as they can go then extend the plate fully above your head or as far as you can. Once done, lower the plate all the way back to your lap. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.

You can change the intensity of this exercise by increasing or decreasing the weight of the weight plate.
