EZ-Bar Anti Gravity Press

1. Set up for the EZ Barbell Anti Gravity Press by loading the desired weight onto an EZ curl bar and position a preacher curl bench so you are facing towards the seat.

2. Lie prone (face down) on the preacher bench, with your feet on the floor or the foot pads if provided. Grasp the EZ curl bar with a pronated (overhand) grip, approximately shoulder-width apart.

3. Start with your arms fully extended, holding the barbell above the ground. This is your starting position.

4. Engage your core and keep your body steady on the bench. Inhale and slowly lower the barbell towards your head by bending your elbows.

5. As you reach the bottom of the movement, ensure that you maintain control and do not allow the weights to touch the ground.

6. Exhale and extend your elbows to press the barbell back up to the starting position. Focus on using your shoulder and tricep muscles to drive the movement.

7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Tips: Keep the movement controlled at all times to avoid injury and to ensure you are engaging the correct muscle groups. Start with a lighter weight to master the technique before increasing the weight. Ensure that the bench is adjusted to a height that allows your upper arms to be just below parallel to the ground in the starting position. Avoid locking out your elbows at the top of the movement to maintain tension on the muscles. If you're new to this exercise, seek assistance from an experienced trainer to ensure proper form and safety.
