2. 02Lie back with the feet or legs secured and take a grip wider than shoulder width.
3. 03Unrack with the shoulder blades set and lower the bar under control toward the lower chest.
4. 04Stop at the depth that preserves shoulder position and keeps the forearms appropriately aligned.
5. 05Press the bar upward without bouncing, then lock it safely into the hooks after the set.
