DIFFERENT HAND GRIPS

NORMAL GRIP
reverse grip EZ bar
normal grip EZ bar
Grasp a suitably weighted EZ bar with either an underarm grip (normal) or a over arm grip, placing your thumbs under the bar for a strong hold.

The level of incline on the bench will increase the level of difficulty, (higher incline - harder exercise). Whatever your incline level, focus on being able to make sure you can perform the exercise in a smooth position, you may need to use a step box to increase your height over the bench if you feel you're forced to raise your shoulders.

Rest your triceps and elbows on the top of the bench throughout the exercise, with your hands 6 - 10 inches apart.

Raise the bar in a smooth motion, until your forearms touch your biceps, lower down again under control, taking note that the harder part of this exercise is your initial lift.

Always check and make sure that the weights are secure on the barbell, with locking collars in place, never perform any exercise without checking, as even a small weight can cause serious injury if dropped.

The level of difficulty for any weight lifting exercise, has a great emphasis on the amount of weight about to be lifted. Always aim to start with a light weight, adapting good technique prior to increasing the weight.
