instructions
preparation execution variations / comments
Grasp barbell with overhand grip, slightly narrower than shoulders. Lie supine on decline bench. Hold arms straight and position them perpendicular to bench. Flex elbows to lower barbell. As bar reaches head, move elbows slightly back, so bar passes head. Return and repeat. Using the decline bench is more intense than doing this exercise on the flat bench, because triceps maintains a permanent tension.
