- Lie back on a flat bench and hold a small bar with an overhand grip at shoulder-width over your chest, arms almost stretched.
- Slowly lower the barbell to your head's level, slightly on top of it (to avoid any injury in case you accidentally drop the barbell). Only your forearms should move: your elbows and the rest of your body are stationary.
- Raise the barbell to the starting position.
