Smith Machine Squat

BeginnerBarbellMachine

A squat performed on the Smith machine, where the bar runs on a fixed vertical track. That guided path removes much of the balance demand, making it a useful tool for learning squat mechanics and safely loading the quads.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the bar just below shoulder height and grip it wider than your shoulders.

  2. 2

    Squeeze your shoulder blades together and brace your core for a neutral spine.

  3. 3

    Duck under to rest the bar on your upper back, unhook it, and stand tall.

  4. 4

    Keeping your heels planted and chest up, push your hips back and lower.

  5. 5

    Let your knees track out and slightly forward while holding a neutral spine.

  6. 6

    When your thighs reach parallel, drive back up to the top.
