How to do it

  1. 01

    Place a bar on the ground behind the head of an incline bench.

  2. 02

    Lay on the bench face down. With a pronated grip, pick the barbell up from the floor. Flex the elbows, performing a reverse curl to bring the bar near your chest. This will be your starting position.

  3. 03

    To begin, press the barbell out in front of your head by extending your elbows. Keep your arms parallel to the ground throughout the movement.

  4. 04

    Return to the starting position and repeat to complete the set.

In the app

Anti-Gravity Press appears when you own a barbell and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have a barbell

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
