Squat Smith Machine

Video coming soon...

The Squat Smith machine workout primarily engages the Quads and Glutes.

The machine provides stability and controlled movement, reducing the involvement of secondary muscles.

Stand inside the Smith machine, positioning your feet shoulder-width apart.
Place the barbell on your upper back, resting it comfortably on your traps.
Engage your core and maintain a straight back as you slowly lower your body by bending at the knees and hips.
Continue descending until your thighs are parallel to the ground, ensuring your knees do not extend past your toes.
Push through your heels and extend your legs to return to the starting position, keeping your back straight throughout the movement.

Position your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform, toes slightly turned out to activate your quads and glutes.
Keep your chest up and core engaged throughout the movement to maintain proper form and prevent lower back strain.
As you lower into the squat, focus on pushing your hips back and bending your knees, keeping your weight on your heels.
Go as low as you can while maintaining control and without letting your knees cave inwards.
Drive through your heels as you push back up, squeezing your glutes at the top for maximum activation.
Don’t lock your knees at the top of the movement; instead, maintain a slight bend to keep tension on your muscles.
Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, inhaling as you lower and exhaling as you push back up.
