Smith Machine Bench Press Video Exercise Guide
- Set up the smith machine bench press by placing a flat bench in the smith machine. Lower the bar and add the weight you want to use.
- Lay back on the bench so that your middle chest is level with the bar.
- Your feet should be firmly planted on the floor for support. Grasp the bar with hands wider than shoulder width.
- Unrack the bar and slowly lower the weight down until the bar is about one inch off your chest.
- Pause, then slowly raise the bar up as far as possible without locking your elbows.
- Repeat this movement for desired reps.
