Smith Behind Neck Press
The Smith Behind Neck Press is a shoulder workout done on a Smith machine. It focuses on building shoulder muscles but also helps your upper arms and upper back. To do this, you push the bar from the back of your neck straight up over your head. You need very flexible shoulders to do this exercise correctly.
