Smith Incline Bench Press

The smith incline bench press is a chest workout done on a smith machine with the seat set to a 30 to 45-degree slant. It mostly works the top part of your chest, but also uses your shoulders and the back of your arms. The machine guides the weight, which helps you stay steady, but you still need to move carefully and use good form.
