Smith Squat to Bench

Expert Advice

Use the bench as a guide for depth, but don't fully sit down; lightly touch it with your glutes to ensure consistent squat depth.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Position a bench behind you and set the Smith machine bar to shoulder height.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart in front of the bar.
  3. Unrack the bar and lower your body toward the bench.
  4. Once your glutes touch the bench, push through your heels to return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
