Setup - Lie on the flat bench with your eyes under the bar. Lift your chest and squeeze your shoulder-blades. Feet flat on the floor.
Grab the bar - Put your pinky on the ring marks of your bar. Hold the bar in the base of your palm with a full grip and straight wrists.
Unrack - Take a big breath and unrack the bar by straightening your arms. Move the bar over your shoulders with your elbows locked.
Lower the bar - Lower it to your mid-chest while tucking your elbows 75°. Keep your forearms vertical. Hold your breath at the bottom.
Press - Press the bar from your mid-chest to above your shoulders. Keep your butt on the bench. Lock your elbows at the top. Breathe.
