Exercise Instructions:

Set an adjustable bench to an angle of around 30 to 45 degrees and place it in the smith machine. Before you add the weight, lay on the bench and lower the bar to your chest. Adjust the position of the bench so the bar is lowered to the upper part of your chest. Add the weight, then lay back down on the bench. Grip the bar with a slightly wider than shoulder with grip, and take the weight off the hooks. This is the starting position for the exercise. Slowly lower the bar down until it's about 1 inch off your chest. pause, the raise the bar back up without locking your elbows at the top of the movement. Repeat for desired reps.

Tips:

Position is important. Make sure you adjust the position of the bench so that the bar lowers to the right position on your chest. The smith machine is a good option to move some heavier weights because you can always lock it out if you can't complete the rep.
