Description

You lie on your back on a bench, legs bent at 90°, feet flat on the floor, arms at your sides with elbows bent backwards, hands clasped less than shoulder-width apart and holding a weighted barbell. During the movement, extend your arms upwards so as to raise the bar until your elbows are fully extended. Then slowly return to the starting position. Make sure you maintain your balance on the bench throughout the exercise.
