Lie on a flat bench and grip the barbell with hands about shoulder-width apart, palms facing your feet.
Unrack the bar and hold it over your upper chest with arms extended.
Inhale and bend your elbows, lowering the bar toward your chin/upper throat while letting your elbows travel forward in a hybrid of a close-grip press and skull crusher.
Stop when your forearms are near your biceps and the bar is just above your neck.
Exhale and drive the bar back up by extending your elbows until your arms are straight.
