How to do it
5 stepsSet a Smith machine bar or another stable bar at about hip height and stand facing it.
Place your hands on the bar with your palms facing down, noticeably wider than your shoulders.
Walk your feet back until your body forms a straight line from head to heels, arms straight. This is the starting position.
Bend your elbows out to the sides and lower your chest to the bar.
Push through your palms to straighten your arms and return to the starting position without letting your hips sag.
The wide grip loads the chest more and the triceps less than the shoulder-width version.
If you feel pain in the front of your shoulders, bring your hands a little closer together.
