How to do it

  1. Place an incline bench under the Smith machine bar and set the bar where you can reach it with arms almost straight.
  2. Lie back, grip the bar a bit wider than your shoulders and twist it to unhook.
  3. Lower the bar slowly to your upper chest, then press it back up.
  4. When you finish, twist the bar to lock it back on the hooks.

Beginner tip: Line up the bench so the bar lands on your upper chest.
