Step 1: Lie on a flat bench in a supine position and grip the barbell with the palms facing towards the feet. Ensure that the arms are fully extended, and the distance between the palms is slightly greater than the width of the shoulders.
Step 2: Gradually lower the barbell until it is a couple of inches above the chest.
Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position. Keep in mind that the arms should follow a controlled path throughout the duration of the exercise.
Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
