How to do it

  1. Sit with your thighs under the pads and grab the bar underhand at about shoulder width.
  2. Lift your chest and lean back just slightly, arms straight.
  3. Pull the bar to your upper chest, driving your elbows down and close to your sides.
  4. Let the bar rise slowly until your arms are fully straight.
  5. Think of driving your elbows to your hips so your back does the work, not just your arms.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
