Smith Decline Bench Press
The smith decline bench press is a chest exercise performed on a decline bench using a smith machine. It primarily targets the pectoral muscles, with secondary emphasis on the triceps and shoulders. The smith machine provides guided movement, making it safer and more stable than a free-weight decline bench press.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Adjust the decline bench to the desired angle.
- 2.Lie down on the bench with your feet secured under the foot pads.
- 3.Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- 4.Unrack the barbell and lower it slowly towards your chest, keeping your elbows tucked in.
- 5.Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push the barbell back up to the starting position.
- 6.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
