Smith Squat Tutorial

Smith Squats are a GREAT lower-body exercise, especially when training alone!

Here is a little video we shot to help explain the finer points of using the Smith Machine correctly for this exercise!


A few more tips:
- Remember to try and keep your knees from jutting past your toes while performing this exercise.
- Keep a slight arch in the back, maintaining picture-perfect posture (shoulders back, chest out, chin up).
- Try to go as low as possible without causing any discomfort to your knees or hips. A depth where the upper thighs are parallel to the ground or slightly below is recommended.

Till next time!
