Training your boxer’s muscle is a crucial part of growing and shaping your chest. Whether you are a workout enthusiast or developing your first training plan, the workouts below will help you meet your fitness goals.

1. Start by setting up the Smith machine. Adjust the bar to a height that is slightly below your shoulder level when you're standing straight.
2. Stand facing the Smith machine, with your feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Grip the bar with your palms facing down and hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. This is your starting position.
4. Now, lift the bar by raising your shoulders as high as you can. Ensure that your arms are straight throughout the movement and that the lift is driven by your shoulders, not your arms.
5. Hold the top position for a second, feeling the contraction in your boxer's muscle (also known as the serratus anterior muscle, located on the side of your chest beneath the pecs).
6. Slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.
7. Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions.
Remember to keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise. Also, avoid using your body momentum to lift the bar; the movement should be controlled and driven by your shoulders.
