Instructions
- Lie down on your back on a flat bench and grab an EZ bar with a shoulder-width overhand grip and hold it above your chest with your arms fully extended.
- Lower the bar by bending your elbows at a 90-degree angle until the bar is just above your forehead. Stay in this position as long as possible (up to 40 seconds). After a static hold, return the bar to its original position.
Tips
- Do not arch your back or lift your head as you move.
- Be careful to choose the right weight for this exercise, as you will lower the bar towards your head.
- When you're done with the set, carefully place the EZ bar across your chest, sit up, and lift the bar from your knees.
