Barbell Pullover
How to do it
- Lie on a flat bench holding a barbell over your chest with a narrow overhand grip.
- Bend your elbows slightly and keep that angle fixed.
- Lower the bar back over your head until you feel a deep stretch through your lats and ribs.
- Pull it back over your chest along the same arc.
- Keep your ribs pulled down. Arching your back to reach further just stretches your lower spine.
