A vertical pull that targets the lateral delts and upper traps. The Smith machine's fixed path helps keep the movement strict and reduces cheating.

Form tips

1. Use a shoulder-width grip to protect your shoulders (wider than typical).
2. Pull the bar to chest height, leading with your elbows.
3. Stop if you feel any shoulder pinching, don't force the rep.
