Smith Machine Squat

Legs · Smith machine

How to do it

Guided bar on your traps and feet slightly ahead of your body, further forward than in a free squat. Lower straight along the rails and stand. With the path fixed you can play with foot position to load more quad (feet forward) or more glute (feet under you). You feel whatever you chose to load. Mind the knees if you place the feet far forward and go very deep.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
