How to perform

Here are the step by step instructions to perform the Barbell Decline Close Grip To Skull Press:

1. Set up a decline bench at a comfortable angle (usually around 30-45 degrees) and lie down on it with your feet secured under the pads.

2. Hold a barbell with a close grip (hands shoulder-width apart) and palms facing towards your feet. Make sure your elbows are pointing forward and close to your body.

3. Keeping your elbows fixed and close to your body, lower the barbell towards your forehead by bending your elbows. Your upper arms should stay stationary throughout the movement.

4. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, making sure the barbell is close to your forehead but not touching it.

5. Exhale and extend your arms to press the barbell back up to the starting position, keeping your elbows fixed and close to your body.

6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

7. Remember to keep your core engaged and maintain a stable lower body position throughout the exercise.

8. After completing the set, carefully rack the barbell and sit up slowly.

It's important to start with a light weight and focus on mastering the form before increasing the load. Consult with a fitness professional if you're unsure about your form or technique.
