Step by step

How to perform it

  1. Lie on a flat bench with your feet flat on the floor. Hold a barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing the barbell), hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Extend your arms so the barbell is directly above your chest.
  2. Bend your elbows and lower the barbell in an arc motion behind your head. Lower the barbell until you feel a stretch in your chest and lats.
  3. Reverse the motion by pulling the barbell back over your chest, then extend the barbell straight up by extending your arms fully.
