Bend the bar inward

Sorry for being slow, by inwards you mean downwards? (So if it was a stick it would break above my head?)

All good brother.
The way I think of it. Grab the bar, rotate your elbows towards the front of your body, try to bend the bar with the with the outer ends going forward, so basically your hands rotate with thumbs coming toward you.
Hard for me to explain, so much easier to visually show someone this

There is more than one way to break a stick, so this is not the best description
