i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Position an adjustable decline bench inside a Smith machine. Lie back securely and grip the barbell with one hand using an overhand grip, planting your feet firmly.
  2. 2. Eccentric Descent: Unrack the bar and slowly lower the weight in a controlled motion toward your lower chest while inhaling deeply.
  3. 3. Pause: Briefly pause at the bottom of the movement without bouncing off your chest, maintaining strict core and pectoral tension.
  4. 4. Concentric Drive: Press the bar powerfully back up along the machine track, exhaling through the sticking point.
  5. 5. Safety: Prevent torso rotation throughout the set and securely rack the bar back onto the hooks when finished.
