Lu Raises – Technique & Coaching Cues
Lu Raise is an accessory exercise for Olympic weightlifting that targets

for a strong clean and jerk.
How to perform Lu Raises:
– Start with light dumbbells or plates
– Raise arms to the side while keeping a slight forward lean
– Control the descent, the eccentric phase is key
– Keep shoulder blades engaged throughout
Use this exercise as accessory work after your main Olympic lifting session.
