    Grip the bar across your shoulders and support it on your upper back. Unwrack the bar by straightening your legs, and take a step back.
    Bend your knees as you lower the weight without altering the form of your back until your hips are below your knees.
    Raise the bar back to starting position, lift with your legs and exhale at the top.
  • Adjust seat height so handles align with chest. Sit and grip handles with elbows slightly bent.
    Slowly bring handles together in front, keeping tension. Focus on squeezing chest muscles.
    Return handles to starting position with controlled motion. Keep chest up throughout. Repeat for reps.
  • Lay flat on the bench with your feet on the ground. With straight arms unrack the bar.
