Smith-Machine Reverse-Grip Press

Position a flat exercise bench underneath the Smith machine bar and lie on your back with your eyes directly under the bar.

Grip the bar using a reverse grip with your palms facing toward your face, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

Unrack the bar by rotating it to release it from the safety catches, holding it steadily over your upper chest.

Inhale as you slowly lower the bar down toward your upper chest with control, keeping your elbows tucked close to your torso.

Exhale as you press the bar straight back up to the starting position by extending your arms and contracting your chest.
