Smith Machine Squat

Coaching cues

Once you are under the bar, set up your feet as you would a normal squat and then bring them forward ~3-6 inches. This will cause you to lean back into the bar slightly, allowing for a more upright squat, while also placing more tension on the quads. If your heels are raising at the bottom, you may need to bring your feet more forward. If your feet feel like they are slipping or your lower back is rounding at the bottom, try bringing your feet back a bit.
