How to perform it
Adjust the bench to a comfortable position on the smith machine. Lie down on the bench with your feet flat on the ground. Grasp the barbell with a wide grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Unrack the barbell and lower it slowly towards your chest, keeping your elbows out to the sides. Pause for a moment when the barbell touches your chest. Push the barbell back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
