Important tip make sure to adjust the safeties if you value your life! Most smith machines have adjustable safeties on the two vertical rods.

Great exercise for quads total quad isolation slow it down stop short of lock out. Those that say bad for back that's bullshit if done properly with foot placing

[brokeboy]

Great tips, my personal trainer also preaches this technique.

[Marcuschanged]

Always learning something while watching your videos.

One of the best smith machine exercises

If I want to dominate quads in the Smith Machine should I do it in Hack squat variation ? Put my legs further even more

Any tips for gyms that have the angled smith machines?

Lifts and lunges with those are not as bad, but squats fully don’t feel right, like it is pushing you to the side.

[ricardohernandez]

Does it change when you do angled smith instead?

[bernelrichardson]

Knee issues here..should i just skip these or just dont go all the way down?

Basically, it's a hack squat in Smith Machine.

[Brent-oxlk]

Great squat tool. No idea where the hating on it comes from.

[deathblade]

Same form for power ? Im doing lkme 355

[nintenster]

Why not do a regular squat stance? I feel like ur leaning against the bar here? Ill give it a shot next time.

[tajbirsingh]

I love smith squat but this variation suck.... the butt sinks so far back that the end point of the squat becomes unclear thereby nearly eliminating any stretch on the quads.

[geteducatedyoufool]

With the regular squat the goal is a vertical bar path which is what you get with a smith machine... but then your setup is very different.
I thought to try and use the smithy to help train for getting an optimal / efficient bar path but i'm guessing it may not work the way i think it will

[hyperdango]

How does this work on a smith machine that has that slant!?

[cesarleo]

Mines are not like that ...they go down in a weird angle i hate it

[cerebralcrit]

I don’t think foot placement is explained enough. “A foot in front of the bar” is not the same thing as the chalk lines that are obviously on the floor or the placement of the heel in relation to where the bottom of the bar track is.

This also doesn’t take into account smith machines with an angle vs perpendicular one to the floor, the latter being the one used in the video. Not all gyms have the same equipment.
