Smith Reverse-grip Press

This is a chest exercise done on a Smith machine. You hold the bar with your palms facing up, also known as a reverse grip. It works your upper chest, shoulders, and triceps. Because the machine is stable, it helps you focus on using the right muscles and keeping good form.
