Incline Smith Machine Bench Press Community

Left shoulder sucks💪

Struggling with 10kg.

Should I lift heavier weights with fewer repetitions, or lower the weight and do more repetitions...?

↳ 둘다~~

Are there people who can't use the Smith machine because it hurts? It seems that you can't do any exercise with the Smith machine.

Does total include the weight of the bar?

↳ I include it machine says 25 resistance so I subtract 25 from the total

My shoulders are really sore.

Why is my shoulder eating more...?

It's this hard at 40 degrees, so when will it be 80?

I want to do more PT while doing this.

The bench angle would be the angle with the floor, right?

"Forget everything else, the advice to focus on putting more strength into your thumb and index finger seems like a great tip; it really stimulates me."

Why isn't the memo left here; bench angle 14

It’s recommended 20kg does that mean 10kg each sides because I’ve changed it to 40kg because I have 20kg on each side

↳ I've got for total weight. So plates plus bar.

When I exhale while going down, I lose strength. Is it correct to exhale while going down? Or should I do it after I get all the way down?

↳ 내려갈때 들이마셔야 합니다

Nope, bar and plates. They usually specify but they left this one out. With the Smith you need to account for a bit less resistance, say 11kgs

↳ the Smith machine I use says starting resistance 25lbs. So if I'm correct a 45 each side plus the bar is 115?

Why is there more stimulation in the front shoulder?

1. Bench angle: 30~45° (stimulating the upper chest) 2. Grip width: slightly wider than shoulder width, wrists should not be bent 3. Posture: scapula retraction and depression (shoulder blades pulled together and down), maintain a natural arch in the lower back • Starting position: the barbell should be at the line of the upper chest (just below the collarbone) 4. Movement: • Lowering: slowly, maintain elbows at about a 45° angle (to protect the shoulders) • Lifting: push from the chest, complete lockout (X) → leave a slight bend 5. Breathing: inhale while lowering, exhale while pushing 6. Precautions: • Ensure the barbell path does not go towards the face • Avoid excessive hyperextension of the lower back/raising the hips • Prioritize chest stimulation over weight

↳ 추가로 엄지 검지에 집중하고 팔꿈치를 살짝 외회전준다고 생각하고하니 좀 더 잘되는듯

When I do this, my right trapezius always hurts ㅠ Why is that? Is it because my scapula isn't stabilizing?

👊

You said you would help with the weight of the offering, ancestor.
