Barbell Pin Presses

Set up a barbell on safety pins in a power rack at the desired height (often at your sticking point). Lie on a bench with your eyes under the bar, grip slightly wider than shoulder-width, brace your core, and press the bar upward from the pins. Lower under control back to the pins and let it settle before initiating the next rep. Keep your shoulder blades retracted and elbows tucked slightly to maintain stability and reduce strain.
