How to do it
- Adjust the knee pad so it holds your thighs snugly, then pick a weight.
- Grip the bar narrower than your shoulders, palms facing you, sit down and lean back slightly with your chest up.
- Pull the bar down to your upper chest, keeping your elbows close to your body.
- Let the bar rise slowly until your arms are straight again.
Beginner tip: Keep your elbows close to your sides and pull smoothly, not jerkily.
