Setup / Starting Position

Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
Hold a barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing down), hands positioned slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and arms extended straight down in front of you.

Exercise Position

Raise the barbell up to shoulder height, keeping your arms straight and elbows slightly bent.
Pause at the top of the movement, then lower the barbell back down towards the starting position.

Form & Performance

Focus on lifting the barbell with your shoulders, keeping your core engaged for stability.
Avoid using momentum to lift the weight, and control the descent of the barbell.
