How to Smith Machine Split Squat
Starting Position
1. Adjust the Smith bar to shoulder height and place it on top of your trapezius.
2. Step one foot forward and the other foot back to create a split stance.
3. The front foot supports the entire sole, while the back foot supports on the toes.
Proper Form
1. Keep your upper body upright and bend both your front and back knees to slowly lower yourself down.
2. Once you lower yourself until your back knee is close to the ground, push off the floor with the heel of your front foot to rise back up.
3. After repeating for the designated number of times, switch your leg position and perform on the opposite side.
Breathing Technique
Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while coming up.
Precautions
1. Please adjust so that your front knee does not excessively go beyond your toes.
2. Since the bar moves in a straight line, it's good to test your foot position several times in advance.
3. If your balance is unstable, please reduce the weight first.
