*This exercise can be done with a barbell or EZ bar.

• Stand with a barbell or EZ bar in front of you. Have an overhand grip on the bar with your grip shoulder-width or just outside shoulder-width. You can use a closer grip, but a wider grip works the medial deltoids and traps better.
  
• Pull the bar up along your body until you get to your chest.
• Elbows are up and to the side as you pull the bar up. The bar should stay very close to your body as you’re pulling the weight up.
• Slowly lower the weight back down to the starting position in front of you.
