Smith Machine Decline Bench Press
Set up a decline bench under the Smith machine and secure your feet. Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width. Unrack it and lower it slowly to your lower chest, keeping your elbows at about a 45-degree angle. Press back up in a straight path. Focus on control, as the bar path is fixed.
