i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Position an incline bench at a 30-degree angle inside the Smith machine. Lie back with your feet flat on the floor, grip the bar with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width, retract your scapulae, and puff your chest out.
  2. 2. Eccentric Phase: Unrack the bar and lower it in a slow, controlled motion toward your upper chest while inhaling.
  3. 3. Concentric Phase: Drive the bar upward dynamically until your arms are fully extended (without locking out your elbows), exhaling through the sticking point.
  4. 4. Safety & Periodization: Follow the prescribed wave loading rep scheme (e.g., 7-5-3-7-5-3), take adequate rest between sets, and utilize the machine safety catches.
