Decline Smith Press

Train your lower chest with the support of the Smith machine.

The Decline Smith Press focuses on the lower chest and provides bar stability through the Smith machine. It’s ideal for lifters looking to isolate the chest without the balance demands of free weights.

Instructions

  1. Set a decline bench underneath a Smith machine.
  2. Adjust the bar so it’s reachable with your arms nearly extended when lying down.
  3. Using a wide overhand grip, unhook the bar and hold it over your chest.
  4. Lower the bar slowly until it lightly touches your torso.
  5. Press the bar back up to full arm extension.
  6. Repeat for the target reps, then lock the bar safely.
