How to do it
- Place an incline bench inside a Smith machine so the bar path lines up above your head, and lie back gripping the bar shoulder-width.
- Unrack the bar with arms extended, then bend only the elbows to lower the bar toward your forehead.
- Extend the arms back to lockout, keeping the upper arms fixed — the guided bar path helps keep the movement strict.
- Rerack the bar at the end of the set.
