How to perform it
Lie flat with your feet planted and shoulder blades pulled back and down.
Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder width and unrack it over your chest.
Lower under control until the bar touches the mid-chest.
Press back to a locked-out position without letting the elbows flare fully.
Tips
Keep wrists stacked over the elbows.
Use a spotter when working near a maximum.
