Smith Machine Bench Press

The Smith machine bench press targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders. Here’s how to do it:

1. Position a bench under the Smith machine and adjust the barbell to chest height.
2. Lie on the bench with your feet flat on the floor, gripping the bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
3. Unrack the bar and lower it to your chest, keeping your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your body.
4. Press the bar back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
