Loads the elbow. Use a load you can control and skip it if it causes pain.

How to do it

1. Lie on a decline bench with your feet secured and hold an EZ bar with a close overhand grip, arms extended above your chest.
2. Keeping your upper arms still, bend your elbows to lower the bar toward your forehead or just behind your head.
3. Extend your elbows to press the bar back up.
4. Keep your elbows pointed forward throughout.

Tips

• Do not let the elbows flare.
• Control the bar near your head.
