Instructions & Biomechanical Cues
Grab a bench that can decline downward so when you lay on it your head is below your hips. Place the bench underneath the barbell. Grip the bar with your palms facing forward, arms slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Straighten your arms to lift the barbell from the rack. Move it over your shoulders, locking your elbows. Inhale and slowly lower the barbell until it touches your mid-chest, keeping your elbows 45 degrees from your body.",
