How to perform?
The Smith Machine Bench Press is a variation of the traditional bench press, using a Smith machine to guide the barbell through a fixed path. This exercise primarily targets the chest muscles, with secondary emphasis on the triceps and front deltoids. The Smith machine allows for a greater degree of stability and control, making it a popular choice for those looking to target the chest muscles with less emphasis on other supporting muscles.
