Barbell Wide Pullover
Lie on a flat bench holding a barbell with a wide grip over your chest. Slowly lower the barbell in an arc behind your head while keeping a slight bend in your elbows and a controlled motion. Once you feel a stretch in your lats and chest, pull the barbell back over your chest by engaging your back and upper-body muscles. Maintain a stable core and avoid excessive arching of the lower back throughout the movement.
