Smith Machine Squat

This guided squat variation helps build lower-body strength while supporting balance and posture.

Instructions

1. Set the bar to shoulder height and position yourself under it with feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Unrack the bar and step into a balanced stance with toes slightly out.
3. Lower into a squat by bending your knees and hips until your thighs are parallel or just below.
4. Keep your torso upright and your heels grounded throughout the movement.
5. Drive through your heels to return to standing and repeat.
