How to do the Bent-Arm Barbell Pullover

  1. 1

    Lie on a flat bench with a barbell using a shoulder grip width.

  2. 2

    Hold the bar straight over your chest with a bend in your arms. This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    While keeping your arms in the bent arm position, lower the weight slowly in an arc behind your head while breathing in until you feel a stretch on the chest.

  4. 4

    At that point, bring the barbell back to the starting position using the arc through which the weight was lowered and exhale as you perform this movement.

  5. 5

    Hold the weight on the initial position for a second and repeat the motion for the prescribed number of repetitions.
