Set-Up

• Set a bar to a height so when un-racking, you press up on the bar.
• Use a bench with a negative angle or when you lie down, your knees are above your head.
• Lie down on the bench with shoulder blades squeezed together to create a base and keep feet flat on the ground. Squeezing your shoulder blades together will keep your shoulders and back tight.
• Grasp the bar so hands are just at shoulder width or just outside shoulder width apart.

Movement

• Un-rack the weight by pressing up and pull the bar the bar just below mid-chest level.
• On the eccentric, squeeze the lats in and pull the weight with your elbows to the body so the bar just comes at the bottom of the chest.
• Push up by driving your back into the pad.
• Return to the starting position. Perform this for necessary reps.

Completion

• After completion, push the weight straight back to the rack.
