Instructions
Grasp barbell with both hands set slightly outside shoulder width while actively contracting the upper back and lats by bringing the shoulders down and back. Keep the chest high, the feet pressed into the ground and lower back slightly arched so a hand could slide under it throughout the entire movement. Unrack the bar and keeping the wrists straight, lower the bar under control to the sternum while maintaining the elbows at 45 degrees. Lightly touch the bar to the chest before pressing bar back to starting position. Common Errors: Excessively arching the lower back, raising hips off of the bench and not keeping shoulders set in place.
