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, keeping your arms straight. Allow the bar to hang straight down. This will be your starting position.

  3. 03

    To begin, raise the barbell out in front of your head while keeping your arms extended.

  4. 04

    Return to the starting position.

In the app

Straight Raises on Incline Bench 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.
