Setup / Starting Position

Set an incline bench to a 45-degree angle and sit on it with your back against the bench and feet flat on the ground.
Grasp a barbell with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart, and allow it to hang directly in front of you.

Exercise Position

Inhale and raise the barbell upwards until your arms are parallel to the ground, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
Exhale and slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position with control.

Form & Performance

Keep your back pressed against the bench and core engaged throughout the movement.
Avoid arching your back or using momentum to lift the barbell.
