i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Position a decline bench inside the Smith machine, lie down securely with your feet locked under the pads, and grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width. Unrack the bar and retract your shoulder blades.
  2. 2. Eccentric Phase: Inhale and lower the bar in a controlled motion toward the lower part of your chest, feeling a strong stretch across the pectorals.
  3. 3. Concentric Phase: Drive the bar upward explosively by extending your arms, avoiding full lockout at the top to maintain continuous tension.
  4. 4. Breathing and Safety: Exhale as you press the weight upward. Maintain strict control throughout high-volume sets to ensure safety and target engagement.
