How to do it

Steps :

1.) Start by sitting up straight on the end of a flat bench with your feet shoulder width apart, holding a weighted barbell at waist level with an overhand grip.

2.) Then push the barbell up and above your head so that your arms are fully extended.

3.) Slowly lower the bar towards your upper chest so that its almost touching then immediately push it back up to the starting position.

4.) As soon as you reach the up position, lower the bar back down behind your neck and hold for a count.

5.) Return back to the starting position.

6.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
