Directions
- Using a smith machine, lower the bar so that when you’re standing next to it, it’s about knee height.
- Place your hands on the bar, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and then step your feet back so that your body is in a plank position. Your arms should be perpendicular to your body. This will be your starting position.
- Keeping your back flat and abs braced, lower yourself down by flexing your elbows so that your chest nearly touches the bar.
- Return to the starting position by pressing through your hands and contracting your pecs and triceps. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
