EZ Bar Pullover

Pro Tip

Try to avoid bringing the EZ bar too far back behind your head, if your shoulders feel uncomfortable it's best to start with the EZ bar a little higher up.

How To

Lie flat on the bench so that your head, upper back, lower back, and both feet are firmly pressed against the bench and ground at all points.
Position the EZ bar behind and slightly below your head with your elbows bent and palms facing away from you.
Exhale and raise your upper arm over your body, keeping your elbow bent.
Continue to bring your upper arm over your body until the EZ bar is directly over your chest.
Inhale and bring the EZ bar back over your head, lowering it down and returning to the starting position.
