How to Smith Machine Sumo Deadlift

Starting Position

1. Please position your shins 3cm away from the barbell.

2. Spread your legs one step wider than shoulder width, and turn your toes out at a 40-50 degree angle.

3. Bend your knees and hips to make your shins vertical, and grip the barbell at shoulder width.

4. Keep your chest up and maintain tension in your back and lower body.

Proper Form

1. Grab the Smith machine bar and spread your legs wide.

2. Push your hips back and lower your upper body to bring the bar down.

3. Straighten your legs and return to the original position.

Breathing Technique

Inhale as you go down and exhale as you come up.

Precautions

1. Please keep your chest open so that your shoulders do not hunch forward.

2. Engage your core to prevent your lower back from rounding.

3. Be careful not to let your knees come together when standing up.

4. Do not excessively arch your back while trying to keep it straight.
