How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Lie on the floor with knees bent and position a very light barbell so the working hand grips its balance point at chest level.
- 02Plant the feet, brace the abdomen against rotation, keep the wrist stacked, and hold the free arm out for balance.
- 03Press the bar vertically until the elbow is straight while keeping both ends level and the torso square.
- 04Lower slowly until the upper arm lightly contacts the floor; pause without bouncing or letting the bar tip.
- 05Complete the side with controlled repetitions, lower the bar safely with both hands or assistance, then match the setup on the other side.
