@btyler101 For front plate raises, again using the example you showed. The user is using an overhand “clamping” grip, as opposed to using the handles on the plate. That’s specifically how that type of workout affects grip. Also, front plate raises usually require more weight than what I was...

@btyler101 Someone else figured it out. I’ll edit my original post. It’s a bilateral external rotation. Apparently even without the resistance bands, the routine and repetition is good for rehabbing torn rotator cuffs and stretching. Plate raises are a complimentary workout to the big lifts...

@btyler101 Oh, no, that’s a front plate raise. With that grip it’s super effective for improving grip strength, fore arm strength and front shoulder muscles.

@btyler101 That’s why I’m trying to see if anyone on here has a good explanation. One guy was close but his link showed people using resistance bands. This is all free motion without resistance, from what I can tell.

@maat Nope, in my mystery routine, the core stays stationary, the only thing that moves is the forearm in a horizontal rotation outward, then back in, only one arm at a time.

@maat No, standing upright. From what I can tell it’s a shoulder-focused workout.

@farahnaz783 I think you might’ve nailed it then. Most of the people I see doing it are pretty buff, so I was wondering if this was a really specific target workout or maybe a stretch.

@farahnaz783 Even without any great level of resistance? It just looks like you’re swinging a plate. Like you’re practicing opening a fridge.

@barbarafellowship Yes, this but without the resistance bands! Like they’re literally just methodically swinging a plate from in front of their chest outward in a horizontal rotation.

I’m sure most of you have seen it. Someone holds a light plate or dumbbell in one hand while standing upright, bends their elbow about 90 degrees so the weight is just in front of them, then they sway the weight outward while keeping the upper arm stationary... what is this workout? What is...
