Form: lie supine on bench, head, neck and spine in a neutral position, start position is holding the barbell
over the chest with the elbows flexed to 90 ̊. Inhale, then exhale as you push the barbell straight up,
straightening the arms.

Cautions: keep core tight, wrists straight, barbell centred over the chest. This can be done with light dumbbells, feet may
be put up on bench if the client has lower back problems.
Trainer techniques: cue breathing, braced core, watch for proper position of the arms/elbows, dumbbells
centred. Spot with hands on the barbell.

“ I took part in group training with Deb and was blown away with her knowledge of muscle groups, her variety of targeted routines and her unique and gentle motivational manner. I was so impressed I can hardly wait until our next training session and would recommend her in an instant as an effective and very positive trainer.” Richard M.
