How to do it

Steps :

1.) Start by setting up a smith machine bar with the weight that you would like to perform for this exercise.

2.) Stand with your arms underneath the bar with your feet shoulder width apart then lock your hands together, resting the bar between your forearms and upper arms.

3.) Remove the bar off of the rack and slowly squat down towards the ground, squeezing your quads, until your thighs are parallel with the floor and hold for a count.

4.) Return back to the starting position.

5.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
