Trainer’s Tips

  • Do not arch your back or lift your head during the movement.
  • Be mindful to choose the appropriate weight for this exercise as you will be lowering the bar towards your head.
  • When finishing the set, carefully place the EZ-Bar on the chest, sit up, and remove the bar from your lap.
