EZ Bar Lying Bent Arms Pullover

• With your arms fully extended, hold the EZ bar directly above your chest.
• Slowly lower the bar back over your head while keeping your elbows slightly bent until your biceps are aligned with your ears.
• Pause for a moment and then pull the bar back to the starting position, using your lats to drive the movement.
• Repeat these steps for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your movements controlled and steady throughout the exercise.

• Proper Grip: Grip the EZ bar with a medium-width grip. Your palms should be facing up and your hands should be slightly bent. Make sure you have a secure grip to avoid dropping the bar and causing injury.
• Controlled Movement: As you lower the bar behind your head, keep your elbows slightly bent at all times. Lower the bar in a slow, controlled motion until you feel a stretch in your chest. Then, use your chest and lats to pull the bar back to the starting position. Avoid using your arms or shoulders to lift the bar, as this can lead to injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.
• Avoid Overstretch
