How to do it

Steps :

1.) Start by setting up a smith machine with the weight that you would like to perform and placing a flat bench underneath the bar.

2.) Place the bar on the back of your shoulder blades and grab it with a wide grip.

3.) Keep your back straight, bend slightly at your knees and squat down towards the bench until your thighs are parallel with the floor and your glutes are touching the bench.

4.) Hold for a count then return back to the starting position.

5.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
