Exercise

Smith Machine Squat

A squat pattern used to train the legs through coordinated hip and knee flexion.

Technique

Set your body around the fixed bar path before loading the movement.

Adjust the machine before loading it so the joints line up comfortably with the movement.

Set a stable stance before you descend.

Brace the trunk and keep the whole foot connected to the floor.

Let the knees track in line with the feet.

Descend through the deepest range you can control.

Drive through the floor and finish the rep without losing position.

Raout

Log sets, reps, weight and useful notes, then see what you did last time when the exercise comes up again.
