Description: Adjust the height of the bar in the Smith machine so it is just above knee level. Set safety pins to avoid the bar dropping too low. Stand in front of the bar. Grip it using a shoulder-width pronated grip (palms facing your body). Unlatch the bar from the rail by rotating it, and stand up straight with the bar in front of you. Keeping your elbows slightly bent, exhale and lift your shoulders as high as you can. Hold the top position for a count of two and squeeze your trapezius muscles. Inhale and slowly lower the bar back to the starting position. Repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions. Once finished, rotate the bar to latch it back onto the rail.
