Heavier strict Powell raise

These steps are written specifically for the Heavier strict Powell raise. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Heavier strict Powell raise. Add only enough load to preserve the same range, tempo, and position as the easier version.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Keep the trunk still and sweep the straight arm outward until it is in line with the shoulders.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Treat this version as the only progression; do not add load, range, and tempo at the same time.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Pause without shrugging, then lower across the body for three to five seconds. Use a slow five-count lower.
