Most people do Smith machine squats wrong. This is a feet-forward Smith squat, not a back squat. Shifting your feet forward keeps your torso upright, increases quad activation, and reduces stress on the lower back. If regular squats bother your knees or spine, this variation is more controlled, more stable, and better for leg growth. Cues: • Feet straight forward • Sit straight down • Stay upright • Control the bottom Train smarter. Not ego-driven. #smithmachinesquat #quadworkout #legday #gymree
