i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Position a decline bench under the Smith machine so the bar aligns directly over your lower chest. Lie down, secure your legs, retract and depress your scapulae, and brace your core tightly.
  2. 2. Eccentric Phase: Unrack the bar and inhale deeply as you lower the weight in a slow, controlled motion toward your lower chest through a full range of motion.
  3. 3. Transition: Pause briefly at the bottom without bouncing the weight, maintaining constant muscular tension.
  4. 4. Concentric Phase: Drive the bar powerfully upward along the machine path, exhaling through the sticking point while avoiding locking out your elbows at the top.
