Step-by-step
- Place an incline bench under the Smith machine so the bar lowers to your upper chest
- Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder width and rotate your wrists to unrack it
- Lower the bar under control to your upper chest
- As it lightly touches your chest, press it back up powerfully
- When the set is done, rotate the bar to lock it onto the safety hooks
Coaching tip
Position the bench so the bar touches just below your collarbone; the fixed path lets the machine handle the balance.
