- Set an incline bench at a low angle and lie on it with your chest supported.
- Hold the barbell with an underhand grip, allowing your hands to hang off the front of the bench.
- Flex your wrists to lift the barbell towards your forearms while keeping your elbows stationary.
- Pause at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position.
