Exercise Description

The narrow smith machine squat builds quad strength and muscle while keeping you stable. Perfect for learning squat form and hitting your legs hard.

How To

1. Set the Smith machine bar at shoulder height and step under it with feet close together 2. Place the bar on your upper back and grip it with hands wider than shoulders 3. Unrack the narrow smith machine squat bar by rotating it and take a small step forward 4. Lower down by pushing hips back and bending knees until thighs are parallel to floor 5. Drive through heels to stand back up and complete your narrow smith machine squat rep

Form Tips

• Keep your feet only hip-width apart for the narrow smith machine squat stance • Push your knees out slightly to track over your toes throughout the movement • Keep your chest up and core tight during each narrow smith machine squat rep • Don't let your knees cave inward as you lower down or stand up

Common Mistakes

• Placing feet too wide defeats the purpose of the narrow smith machine squat • Letting knees cave inward puts stress on joints and reduces narrow smith machine squat power • Leaning too far forward shifts weight off your quads and onto your back
