How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Lie securely on a bench and hold the EZ bar above your chest with a comfortable grip and elbows bent.
  2. 02Set your shoulders and maintain nearly the same elbow angle throughout the movement.
  3. 03Lower the bar in an arc behind your head until the lats and chest reach a comfortable stretch.
  4. 04Pull the bar back over your chest by moving at the shoulders rather than turning the exercise into an elbow extension.
  5. 05Keep the hips, rib cage, and upper back stable on the bench as you repeat the controlled arc.
