@deltabolic: Smith Machine Shoulder Press Form Guide 1️⃣ Use a slightly wider-than-shoulder-width grip This provides a strong and comfortable pressing position. 2️⃣ Try a thumbless grip if you’re comfortable with it It allows you to position the bar more directly over the base of your hand, which may improve your pressing mechanics and force transfer. 3️⃣ Keep your lower back against the backrest Avoid excessive arching or lifting your lower back off the pad. 4️⃣ Tuck your elbows slightly Keep your elbows slightly in front of your body rather than flaring them directly out to the sides. 5️⃣ Keep your shoulders depressed Avoid shrugging as you press. Keeping your shoulders down helps minimize unnecessary involvement from the upper traps and keeps the movement focused on the delts. Size & Shred Training program 👉🏻 deltabolic.com (link in bio)
