How to do it

Execution:

1
Lie on an incline bench with your feet flat on the floor.
2
Hold a straight bar with your arms extended over your face.
3
Bend your elbows to lower the bar toward your forehead.
4
Extend your elbows to return to the start, not letting the upper arms drift back.

Tip: keep your arms perpendicular to the floor during descent — tilting them back transfers work to the lats.
