How to do it

  1. Set a bench with back support under the bar and grip it just outside shoulder width.
  2. Unhook the bar and hold it at upper-chest height.
  3. Press it straight up until your arms are straight.
  4. Lower it to your chin height and re-hook it at the end.

Watch out: Sitting too far back or forward so the bar has to pass in front of your face.
