Equipment



Form Cues
-
Position the bench so the bar path aligns with your mid-to-lower chest.
-
Use a supinated (underhand) grip, roughly shoulder-width apart.
-
Start with light weight to get comfortable with the grip — the Smith machine's fixed path makes this much safer than a free bar.
-
Retract your shoulder blades and maintain a slight back arch.
-
Lower the bar with control to your lower chest / upper abdomen area.
-
Keep elbows tucked close to your body throughout the movement.
-
Press the bar up until arms are fully extended.
-
Focus on squeezing the upper chest at the top of each rep.
