How to do it

Stand facing a Smith machine bar or sturdy elevated platform at an appropriate height.
Place your hands on the bar, with your hands about shoulder width apart.
Position your feet back from the bar with arms and body straight. This will be your starting position.
Keeping your body straight, lower your chest to the bar by bending the arms.
Return to the starting position by extending the elbows, pressing yourself back up.
