The Smith Machine wide-grip chest press with a 3-second pause is a compound exercise targeting the pectoralis major, anterior deltoids, and triceps. Incorporating an isometric pause at the sticking point increases time under tension and builds explosive strength out of the bottom.

i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Position a flat bench under the Smith machine so the bar aligns directly over your mid-chest. Lie down with feet flat on the floor and take a wide overhand grip on the bar.
  2. 2. Lowering & Pause: Unrack the bar and lower it in a controlled manner toward your lower chest. Hold the weight motionless in an isometric pause for 3 seconds just above the chest without bouncing.
  3. 3. Pressing & Breathing: Drive the bar upward explosively, extending your arms without locking out your elbows at the top. Exhale as you push up and inhale as you lower the weight.
