Step by step

  1. Set the safety stoppers first so the bar can never come down on you.
  2. Set the bench upright under the bar. Sit tall.
  3. Grab the bar just wider than your shoulders and twist to unhook.
  4. Press up until your arms are straight, then lower to chin height.

💡 Tip: Don't arch your back.
