Smith Incline Reverse-Grip Press
The smith incline reverse-grip press is a chest exercise performed on a smith machine with an incline bench. It targets the pectoral muscles using a reverse (underhand) grip, which also engages the triceps and shoulders. The smith machine provides stability, but the reverse grip and incline angle require good coordination and some experience.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Adjust the seat of the smith machine to a comfortable incline angle.
- 2.Sit on the machine with your back against the pad and your feet flat on the ground.
- 3.Grasp the bar with an overhand grip that is slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- 4.Unrack the bar and lower it slowly towards your chest, keeping your elbows tucked in.
- 5.Pause for a moment when the bar is just above your chest.
- 6.Push the bar back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
- 7.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
