Do not arch your back, but keep it completely still, no swaying, swinging, arching or curving. Just lean back about 10 degrees and maintain that throughout the exercise. Your elbows should make an arc shape to the side of your body on the way down and on the way up. Squeeze your elbows into your body at the lowest part of the movement and the bar should be on or close to the very upper portion of your chest. The only movement should come from your arms.

Straighten up while holding the bar at arm's length. Lower back down to the floor but do not let plates touch.
