Lie supine on a flat bench with your head slightly off the end, holding an EZ bar with a pronated grip.
Extend the bar straight above your chest, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
Slowly lower the bar in an arc behind your head, feeling a stretch in your lats and chest.
Pull the bar back to the starting position using your lats and pectorals.
Maintain control throughout the movement, avoiding momentum.
Choose a load and range you can control. These instructions are general guidance, not a substitute for individual coaching.
