i Instructions
- 1. Setup & Starting Position: Position the flat bench centered directly beneath the Smith machine bar. Lie down so the bar lowers to mid-sternum. Retract scapulae, brace, and unhook the bar.
- 2. Movement Execution: Lower to the chest, press halfway up, lower back to the chest, and finally drive through to full lockout (this equals one full rep).
- 3. Breathing and Safety: Inhale deeply into your diaphragm before descending, brace your core via the Valsalva maneuver, and exhale forcefully through the final lockout phase. Maintain active scapular retraction throughout.
