Since the barbell on the smith machine moves in a locked in straight up and down path, it requires less activation of the stabilization muscles, thus making it easier to isolate the muscles in the shoulders. To get started: 1. Set the bench to an upright 90 degree angle and position it in the middle of the smith machine, so the barbell lowers just in front of your face. 2. Sit on the bench and grip the bar with hands slightly wider than shoulder width grip, where the elbows are bent at a close to 90 degree angle at the bottom of the lift. 3. Lift the bar up off the rack with a slight forward twist to move the safety hooks away from the safety bar. 4. Under control, slowly lower the bar by bending your elbows until it reaches close to the top of your chest. 5. Press the barbell overhead by extending your arms while pressing your feet through the ground and maintaining a tight core to keep your back pressed against the bench. 6. Repeat.
