Smith Machine Squat

Instructions

1. Position the Smith machine bar just below collarbone height and load the plates.
2. Duck under the bar, rest it across your upper back, and grip it with an overhand grip.
3. Walk your feet forward to about hip-to-shoulder width and extend your knees to unrack the bar.
4. Brace your core, breathe in, and squat by bending your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
5. Press through your heels to drive back to standing and exhale.
6. After your final rep, rotate the bar to rack it.
