Smith Machine Shoulder Press
Smith Machine Shoulder Press
Target Muscle Group: Deltoids (Front & Side)
Suggested Tempo: 3-1-1-1
Helpful Cues:
• Position the seat such that the bar is as close to your face as you can without touching. This ensures shoulder health & better activation of the right muscles.
• Retract your scapulae (pinch your shoulder blades) and keep your chest nice and high. This creates a "power shelf" from which to drive safely and with power from.
• Grip the bar such that you can get your elbows nice and deep (grip a bit wider than shoulder width).
• Control the eccentric (negatives) for 2-4 seconds.
• Drive all the way through until the elbows fully lock out.
• Try adding a pause at the bottom of the rom to remove momentum and create a mechanical advantage for the concentric (push) phase.
