Smith Machine Sumo Squat
The sumo squat under the Smith bar: a wide stance under the rails and a straight drop between the heels.
How to do it
Setup
Bar on the upper back, feet wide under it, toes turned out.
Steps
- Unhook and squat straight down, torso upright.
- Knees track out over the toes.
- Drive up and rehook at the top.
Common mistakes
Stance narrowing between reps: keep the feet wide and still. Knees caving in: push them out. Dropping fast into the groin stretch: lower under control.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
