1
Lie on a flat bench with an EZ bar loaded to an appropriate weight.
2
Using a narrow grip lift the bar and hold it straight over your torso with your elbows in. The arms should be perpendicular to the floor. This will be your starting position.
3
Now lower the bar down to your lower chest as you breathe in. Keep the elbows in as you perform this movement.
4
Using the triceps to push the bar back up, press it back to the starting position by extending the elbows as you exhale.
5
Repeat.
