Exercise Description

The plate pinch carry builds crushing grip strength and finger power. It makes your forearms stronger for all pulling exercises and daily activities.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart and grab two weight plates, pinching them together with your fingers and thumb 2. Lift the pinched plates off the ground by squeezing hard with your fingertips 3. Keep your shoulders back and core tight as you hold the plate pinch carry position 4. Walk forward slowly while maintaining your grip on the plates 5. Complete the distance or time, then carefully lower the plates back to the ground

Form Tips

• Squeeze the plates as hard as possible - your fingertips should turn white during the plate pinch carry • Keep your shoulders pulled back to avoid hunching forward • Take small, controlled steps to maintain balance • Start with lighter plates and work up as your plate pinch carry grip gets stronger

Common Mistakes

• Using plates that are too heavy and dropping them mid-walk during your plate pinch carry • Letting your shoulders roll forward instead of keeping good posture • Taking steps that are too big and losing balance or grip on the plate pinch carry
