Stand up tall with a straight spine, holding a curved barbell. Hold the inside curved portion of the bar with each hand, so the hands are slightly facing each other. Step 2. Lift the bar directly above the head, straightening the arms completely.
Even a high-quality bar will have a very slight bend when 225 pounds or more is loaded on the bar and the bar is racked in the bench. This presents no problem during a workout. However, if you leave that weight on the bar every hour of every day, over the course of a few weeks the bar can bend and weaken.
