How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Set an incline bench high enough for the barbell to clear its frame, position the bar beneath your shoulders, and lie face down with your chest fully supported.
- 02Take a shoulder-width overhand grip, let your arms hang straight, and plant your feet while keeping your neck neutral and shoulders away from your ears.
- 03Pull the bar toward your lower chest or upper abdomen by driving the elbows back and drawing the shoulder blades together.
- 04Pause when the bar approaches the bench without lifting your chest from the pad, shrugging, or bending your wrists.
- 05Lower the bar under control until the elbows straighten and the shoulder blades reach forward naturally, then reset before the next repetition.
