Lay flat on a bench or, adjust your body so that the edge of the bench rests midway between the shoulders. Extend your arms and take an overhand grip on the barbell with your hands shoulder width apart.
1. Inhale as you lower the barbell behind your head, bending your arms slightly.
2. Exhale as you return to the starting position then, repeat the next repetition.
Notes:
This exercise develops the pectoralis major, triceps long head, teres major, lats, serratus anterior, rhomboids, and pectoralis minor.
This exercise is an excellent movement for stretching the rib cage. To do so, use a light barbell.
