How to do it
Execution:
- 1Lie on a flat bench and grip a straight bar with a pronated (overhand) grip.
- 2Bend your elbows to lower the bar toward your forehead under control.
- 3Extend your elbows to return to the start position without letting your upper arms swing.
Tip: angle the arms slightly back from vertical — this keeps tension on the triceps at the top.
