  1. 1

    Lie on a flat bench with an EZ bar loaded to an appropriate weight.

    Now lower the bar down to your lower chest as you breathe in. Keep the elbows in as you perform this movement.

    Using the triceps to push the bar back up, press it back to the starting position by extending the elbows as you exhale.

  5. 5

    Repeat.
