Bent-Arm Barbell Pullover

Instructions

1. 1

   Lie on a flat bench with a barbell using a shoulder grip width.

2. 2

   Hold the bar straight over your chest with a bend in your arms. This will be your starting position.

3. 3

   While keeping your arms in the bent arm position, lower the weight slowly in an arc behind your head while breathing in until you feel a stretch on the chest.

4. 4

   At that point, bring the barbell back to the starting position using the arc through which the weight was lowered and exhale as you perform this movement.

5. 5

   Hold the weight on the initial position for a second and repeat the motion for the prescribed number of repetitions.
