General And Specifics
- a partner should help you with this exercise
Starting Position
- your partner passes you the barbell, take it with over hand grip a bit wider than shoulder width
- to prevent injuries, make sure that the weight does not break out
- your elbows need to remain vertically under the barbell
- bend your knees, then you can put the feet on the ground to stabilize your body
Correct Execution
- let the weight sink down slowly until your triceps touches the ground
- do not bend your wrists
- keep your body braced and avoid a hollow-back
- push the barbell up again
- your elbows still need to remain vertically under the barbell
- repeat the barbell exercise
