Smith Standing Military Press
Expert Advice
Brace your core and glutes for stability, and avoid using your legs to 'push' the weight up.
How-to-do Steps
- Set the Smith machine bar to a height that's just above your shoulders.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart under the bar.
- Grip the bar with a slightly wider than shoulder-width grip.
- Unrack the bar and start with it resting on your upper chest.
- Press the bar straight up until your arms are fully extended.
- Lower the bar slowly back to the starting position, just above your chest.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
