Ok let's talk about Smith Machine Squats!
Anyone who knows me knows that I hate them. But... I've been forced to use them since I've been using the gym in my complex as of late.
Now... Lawd I love em! Here's how to do them effectively.
1️⃣ Position yourself so you are under the bar just like you would in a squat rack. Keep your body leaning SLIGHTLY forward. Only about 1 or 2 inches off of center.
2️⃣ Feet a little wider than shoulder width, toes pointed out. You want to make sure you feel your weight loaded onto your heels more than your toes.
3️⃣ Squat booty out, chest up, belly tight, core activated. Squat as deep as you comfortably can. Slightly feel the knees pushing out as you take the squat, just so they stay aligned with the toes.
4️⃣ Press through the heels to stand, feeling like you're firing up the glutes AND the quads. At the top squeeze the booty.
Do a warm up set with little to no weight to practice, then load up the bar when you're ready to go.
Throw these into the mix if you want to just switch it up, or if you have an injury that prevents you from doing full Olympic Bar squats. This is also great for beginners!
Try it out and let me know how it goes!
