Stand in front of the Smith Machine bar with your feet placed directly under the bar (for optimum counter-balance). Grip the bar with your palms about 8 to 10 inches apart. Get your back straight and ready yourself for the initial lift. This is your starting position.
Lift the bar up all the way until it reaches your upper chest level and hold at the top for a fraction of a second. Then, release it back down to the starting position and repeat the entire movement for the desired or prescribed number of repetitions.
