How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Stand over a clear, non-slip area and hold a light weight plate vertically at about waist height with both hands.
  2. 02Apply a small upward impulse and rotate the plate just enough to release one edge.
  3. 03Reposition the hands quickly and catch the opposite edge with the fingers and thumbs.
  4. 04Absorb the catch with soft elbows while keeping the plate close to the body.
  5. 05Continue only while every catch is secure, and stop before grip fatigue makes a drop likely.
