Smith Machine Straight Bar Chest Dips Forward Lean (Controlled Eccentric 4s)

Straight bar dips on the Smith machine provide a stable fixed-rail barbell setup that delivers heavy sternocostal pectoral recruitment. Strict 4-1-1-0 eccentric pacing protects joint capsules while optimizing targeted time-under-tension (TUT).

i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup & Scapular Stability: Lock the Smith machine bar at approximately hip height. Grip the bar overhand shoulder-width apart, mount into support, and lean your chest forward over the bar.
  2. 2. Eccentric Lowering: Inhale and descend smoothly, guiding your lower chest toward the bar while allowing elbows to bend comfortably backward and slightly out.
  3. 3. Transition & Protocol Cue: Descend with strict control over 4 seconds, pause for 1 second in the stretched transition, then drive up dynamically.
  4. 4. Concentric Drive: Exhale and drive dynamically upward to arm extension, maintaining your forward torso angle over the bar throughout the ascent.
  5. 5. Breathing and Safety Guidelines: Ensure the Smith safety catches are solidly locked before mounting. Control depth so your sternum does not collide forcefully with the steel bar. Controlled 4-second eccentric tempo with a 1-second stretch pause (4-1-1-0) eliminating passive elastic rebound.
