Description

Lie with your back flat on a bench and have eyes directly in line with the barbell. Make sure the barbell is in a position where you do not have to fully extend your arms to reach it. Once you are in the correct starting position, grip the bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, gripping tightly. Lift the bar off the rack with fully extended arms and position it just below your chest. Slowly lower the bar to just above your lower chest, once the bar has reached its lowest point, forcefully push upwards until your arms are fully extended again.
