How to do the Anti-Gravity Press

  1. 1

    Place a bar on the ground behind the head of an incline bench.

  2. 2

    Lay on the bench face down. With a pronated grip, pick the barbell up from the floor. Flex the elbows, performing a reverse curl to bring the bar near your chest. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    To begin, press the barbell out in front of your head by extending your elbows. Keep your arms parallel to the ground throughout the movement.

  4. 4

    Return to the starting position and repeat to complete the set.
