Chest Exercises - Smith Machine Incline Bench Press
Smith Machine Incline Bench Press
Exercise Advice: This exercise is very similar
to the regular medium grip barbell incline bench press. The only
difference is that the Smith machine acts as a spotter for you!
Place a free standing incline bench under a Smith Machine (if you
not know what a Smith machine, simply ask a trainer at your gym
to assist you). Lie flat on your back and grab the barbell above
you with a grip slightly beyond shoulder width apart. Lift the barbell
off of the rack and slowly lower it to about 3 inches above your
clavicle (just below your Adam’s apple) and then press the
bar back to the start position. DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR TO YOUR UPPER
CHEST (this causes unneeded stress on your shoulder joints and takes
the tension away from your upper pec muscles, which are what we
want to be doing the work!). Be sure that when you are lowering
the bar that you do so in a slow and controlled fashion. Conversely,
when you press the bar upward, you want to do so in an explosive
fashion. Repeat this movement for as many repetitions as yu can
until failure.
