Barbell Straight Arm Pullover

Video coming soon...

The barbell straight arm pullover workout primarily engages the lats and chest muscles.

The barbell is used to perform a controlled movement, targeting the primary muscles without overworking secondary muscles.

Position yourself lying flat on a bench with your feet planted firmly on the ground.
Hold the barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Extend your arms straight above your chest, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
Lower the barbell in a controlled manner behind your head, maintaining the straight arm position.
Return the barbell to the starting position by raising it back up above your chest.

Start with a light weight to get the hang of the movement and prevent strain.
Position yourself on a flat bench with your head and upper back supported.
Grasp the barbell with a shoulder-width grip, keeping your arms straight.
Lower the barbell behind your head while maintaining a slight bend in your elbows.
Engage your lats by squeezing your shoulder blades together throughout the movement.
Focus on feeling the stretch in your chest as you bring the barbell back up.
Exhale as you raise the barbell and inhale as you lower it for better control.
