How to perform it
Adjust the bench to a 30-45 degree incline. Sit on the bench with your back flat against the pad and feet firmly on the ground. Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Unrack the barbell and lower it slowly towards your upper chest, keeping your elbows slightly tucked in. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push the barbell back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
