Lying on your back on the flat bench, place your feet flat on the floor. Hold the barbell with an overhand grip at shoulder width and with your arms stretched out above your chest (front hold). Now bend your elbows to lower your forearms so that the barbell is lowered just above your forehead. Then straighten your arms and move the weight back to the starting position in a controlled manner.
Starting position:
- Lie on your back on the flat bench, feet flat on the floor
- Arms (almost) stretched across your chest (in front of you)
- Hold the barbell shoulder-width apart in the overhand grip
Finishing position:
- Arms bent, barbell lowered just above your forehead
Attention:
Movement only comes from the elbows, position of the elbows remains stable (keep the distance between the arms unchanged, do not let the elbows break out to the side), whereby the upper arms do not (hardly) move.
