Execution instructions

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.
