Smith Machine Bench Press

Set your body around the fixed bar path before loading the movement.

Adjust the machine before loading it so the joints line up comfortably with the movement.

Build a stable base before unracking or starting the press.

Keep the shoulder blades controlled against the bench or pad.

Lower the load to a repeatable depth.

Let the elbows follow a comfortable path instead of forcing a fixed angle.

Press smoothly and keep the setup consistent from rep to rep.
