Floor Pullovers

Whenever doing any bench work with a barbell, it is wise to have a partner stand behind you to assist with your final lifts, especially if doing heavy weights, never push yourself to the limit on your own.

Grasp a barbell in whichever hand position you wish to choose; close - wide- normal - reverse grip, however throughout the movement keep your arms straight.

Lie flat on the floor, focusing on pushing your back and hips into the ground, you should aim to keep your feet on the floor, close to your buttocks.

Smoothly lower the weight down behind your head, keeping your arms straight, taking care to never go beyond the point where you can't smoothly lift the weight back up above your head.

Lift the weight over with straight arms, keeping your hips down throughout the movement. Inhale as you lower the weight, and exhale as you lift the bar back up.

You may also decide to perform this movement with your arms bent.
