EXERCISE INSTRUCTION
- Lie on a horizontal bench. The body must rest on the bench with its entire surface. Put your feet firmly on the floor. The head is positioned at the edge of the bench but does not hang down.
- Take a barbell in your hands with a straight grip and hold it in your outstretched arms. Grip shoulder-width apart. The arms are slightly bent at the elbows.
- Slowly and in a controlled manner, lower the barbell behind your head with your arms throughout the entire movement under your bent elbows.
- It is worth lowering down until you feel the tension of your pectoral muscles.
- As soon as you feel a good chest stretch, lift the bar up, returning the projectile to its original position.
