Smith Machine Deadlift

Instructions

1. Set the Smith machine bar to the lowest position, load it, and stand with your shins close to the bar.
2. Hinge at the hips and grip the bar with a double overhand grip outside your knees.
3. Bend your knees slightly and lift your chest to set a neutral, flat back.
4. Take a breath and drive through your legs, extending your hips and knees to stand tall and lock out at the top.
5. Push your hips back and lower the bar under control to the floor, keeping your back neutral, then inhale before the next rep.
