i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Position a decline bench under the Smith machine bar. Lie back, secure your feet, retract your scapulae, and grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width using an overhand grip.
  2. 2. Eccentric Lowering: Unrack the bar, inhale, and slowly lower the weight toward your lower chest while keeping your elbows tracking inward.
  3. 3. Concentric Drive: Briefly pause at the bottom and powerfully press the bar back up to the starting position, exhaling through the sticking point without locking out your elbows at the top.
  4. 4. Safety: Always use the safety catches on the machine and avoid bouncing the bar off your chest to protect joints and connective tissue.
