Step by step

  1. Set the safety stoppers first so the bar can never come down on you. Put them just above your chest.
  2. Lie on the bench so the bar is over the middle of your chest. Grab it a bit wider than your shoulders.
  3. Twist to unhook, lower slowly to your chest.
  4. Press up until your arms are straight. Twist to hook when done.

💡 Tip: Feet flat, shoulder blades pinched together.
