i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Position an adjustable bench at a 30-degree angle inside the Smith machine. Lie back with feet flat on the floor, grip the bar with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width, retract and depress the scapulae, and brace your core.
  2. 2. Eccentric Phase: Unrack the bar and lower it in a controlled manner toward the upper chest taking a full 4 seconds, maintaining constant tension.
  3. 3. Transition: Pause briefly at the bottom stretch position just above the chest without bouncing the bar off your body.
  4. 4. Concentric Phase: Drive the bar upward explosively to full extension, avoiding hard locking of the elbows.
  5. 5. Breathing and Safety: Inhale as you lower the weight and exhale during the forceful push. Always ensure the safety catches on the Smith machine are properly positioned.
