i Instructions

  1. 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. 2. Movement Execution: Lower the resistance under a strict 3-second cadence to chest level, touch gently without bouncing, and press up dynamically in 1 second.
  3. 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.
