Split Squat Smith Machine

Video coming soon...

The split squat Smith machine workout is a great exercise for targeting the quadriceps muscles.

This workout involves using the Smith machine to perform split squats, which helps to isolate the quads.

While the workout also engages secondary muscles like the glutes and hamstrings, its main focus is on the quads.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, facing away from the Smith machine.
Place your right foot about two feet in front of your left foot.
Position the barbell on your upper back, resting it on the back of your shoulders.
Bend your knees and lower your body straight down, keeping your torso upright.
Lower until your left knee is just above the ground and your right thigh is parallel to the floor.
Push through your right heel to return to the starting position.

Position your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward, and place one foot about two feet in front of the other.
Hold the barbell on your upper back, with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Lower your body by bending both knees, keeping your back straight and chest up.
Engage your quads as you push through your front heel to return to the starting position.
Avoid leaning forward or letting your front knee extend beyond your toes to prevent strain on your knees.
Perform the exercise with controlled movements, focusing on the contraction of your quads throughout the entire range of motion.
