The Ez Bar Lying Bent Arms Pullover is a compound exercise that primarily targets the chest, back, and shoulders. It is a variation of the traditional pullover exercise that involves lying down on a bench and using an Ez bar to perform the movement.
How to perform
To perform the Ez Bar Lying Bent Arms Pullover, follow these steps:1. Lie down on a flat bench with your feet firmly planted on the ground and your back flat against the bench.
2. Grip the Ez bar with both hands in an overhand grip, holding it with your arms extended straight above your chest.
3. Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, slowly lower the Ez bar in an arc motion behind your head while inhaling.
4. Pause for a moment when the Ez bar is parallel to the ground, then slowly bring it back to the starting position while exhaling.
5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
It's important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury. Keep your core engaged, back flat against the bench, and avoid arching your back excessively. Start with a lighter weight to get comfortable with the movement before gradually increasing the resistance.
