How to do it

  1. Set and lock the Smith machine bar at about waist height.
  2. Lie under the bar and grip it wider than your shoulders, heels on the floor, body straight, arms extended.
  3. Pull your chest up toward the bar, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  4. Lower yourself slowly until your arms are straight.

Beginner tip: Bending your knees with feet flat on the floor makes it easier.
