How to perform

Set a flat bench under the Smith Machine bar, aligning it properly. Lie on your back, feet shoulder-width apart on the bar. Unlock the bar. Slowly lower the bar towards your chest by bending your knees, keeping feet flat. Press the bar back up, fully extending your legs without locking your knees. Relock the bar.

Tips

Maintain a flat back against the bench. Engage your core for stability. Adjust bench height and foot placement for comfort. Control the bar's descent. Avoid locking your knees.
