How to do it

Execution:

1
Lean your torso slightly forward, brace your core, and set your feet shoulder-width apart.
2
Grip the straight bar with a pronated grip (palms down); keep your elbows pointing forward and fixed in line with your forehead.
3
Extend your elbows to press the bar away from your head in a controlled motion.
4
Slowly flex your elbows to return, without letting them flare out.

Tip: the forward-leaning stance increases long-head activation — keep the elbows high throughout.
