Try moving your elbows to 45deg. from your chest (not the floor) to take some strain off your shoulders. --Previous Message-- : I am 6'2 and weigh approx 175. I have arms that are longer than : they should be for my height. Should i be lowering the bar down : to my chest, or stopping when the eblows are at a 90deg : angle(biceps paralell with floor)? I usually dont come anywhere : near touching my chest with the bar, as it is a painfull stretch : on my pecs/shoulders to get the bar that low. Any help on : technique would be great! :
