During exercise, we must master the key points of different movements, so as to ensure that we can effectively complete the movements during exercise and not get injured during exercise. Different movements have different key points. We need to understand how to complete these movements before starting the exercise, so let’s take a look at the key points of the Smith bench press.
Key points of Smith’s bench press:
This action requires us to be fixed on the equipment to complete. We can choose free bench press, which is dumbbell bench press or barbell bench press. At first, we lie flat on the bench. At this time, our legs are spread on both sides of the bench, and the weight must be selected in advance. At this time, we raise our arms with both hands and begin to bench press a heavy object upwards, which may be a dumbbell or a barbell. There are three ways to bench press, one is the narrow-grip bench press, the other is the wide-grip bench press, and the second is the standard bench press. Depending on the movements, the exercise effects are different.
Where can the Smith bench press be exercised?
The exercise effects corresponding to Smith's three bench press methods are also different. Generally, the wide-grip bench press exercises more of our chest muscles, the narrow-grip bench press can better exercise the back muscles, and the standard bench press can Exercise your chest and latissimus dorsi muscles at the same time. Because the distance between the hands of the wide-grip bench press is relatively large, our chest muscles expand to both sides at this time, while the distance between the hands of the narrow-grip bench press is small. At this time, our back is tightened. In the standard bench press, the hands are shoulder-width apart, and the back and The chest is in a balanced state.
What should I pay attention to when doing the Smith bench press?
When completing the Smith bench press, we must first understand how to complete the movement, and we need to choose the correct weight, so as to ensure that we are not injured during the exercise. There are three options for the height of the chair during exercise, one is decline, one is incline, and the other is flat bench press. Different movements have different levels of difficulty, so you need to choose the bench press method based on your actual situation. The difficulty of the incline is relatively small, the difficulty of the flat is always the same, and the difficulty of the downcline is the greatest.
The above is an introduction to the key points of the Smith bench press. When we understand how to do these movements, we will be able to complete the movements better and more standardly, thereby achieving a good exercise effect.
