It’s a strength training, the person lower the weight until it get close to his chest, than pushes it back up until his arm get straight. This move will train and develop the chest muscle. Person may has a partner that hold the weight in case that weight fell off and hit his chest. Tips : if you are a beginner, always ask someone to hold the weight for you. Because its dangerous if it fell off to your chest.
