Instructions

  1. Lie flat on an exercise bench with your feet firmly planted on the floor and hold a barbell using an underhand, shoulder-width grip.

  2. Extend your arms straight up toward the ceiling so the barbell is positioned directly over your shoulders.

  3. Keeping your upper arms completely stationary, bend your elbows to lower the barbell in a controlled arc toward your forehead.

  4. Pause briefly when the bar gets close to your head, maintaining tension in your triceps.

  5. Press the barbell back up to the starting position by straightening your arms without locking your elbows.
