How to perform it
- Adjust the height of the smith machine bar to a comfortable position.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
- Place the barbell across your upper back, resting it on your traps.
- Engage your core and keep your chest up as you slowly lower your body by bending your knees and hips.
- Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
- Pause for a moment, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
