list_alt Step-by-Step Instructions
Set a flat bench behind you and rack a barbell at chest height.
Rest the barbell across the front of your shoulders, just below your collarbone, with your elbows lifted and upper arms parallel to the ground.
Step back so the bench is directly behind your heels, feet shoulder-width apart.
Keeping your chest up and elbows high, bend your knees and hips to lower yourself until your glutes lightly touch the bench.
Without relaxing onto the bench, push through your heels to return to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
