Smith Machine Decline Bench Press

How to do it

Set a decline bench under the Smith machine bar and secure the legs under the pads before lying back.
Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder width and unrack it over the lower chest.
Lower the bar with control to the lower chest line, letting the decline angle shift the emphasis down the chest.
Press the bar back up along the fixed vertical path, driving through the chest and triceps.
Exhale on the press and inhale on the descent, keeping the head and shoulders pressed into the bench.
Keep the movement slow and controlled off the chest; a common fault on the decline angle is dropping the bar too quickly given the shorter range of motion.
