Floor Chest Press using Smith Machine

1. Lie on the floor, flat on your back, holding the bar of the Smith machine above you. Your hands should be on the bar in a position that is slightly wider than your chest.
2. As we lower the bar to our chest, let your elbows aim straight down to the floor.
3. Lower the bar to a point where your elbows and triceps touch the floor OR the smith machine will not lower any further. (different machines have different depths)
4. Allow your body to stop in this position.
5. Using your chest, push the bar back up to the starting position.
- Keep the bar in line with your mid to lower chest.
- For better form, push your feet firmly into the ground and keep your lower back flat on the bench. As we go heavier, we may lift our pelvis off of the floor, but our goal is to keep an activated core and keep that back flat.
