The Smith machine squat runs the bar on a fixed vertical track, removing the need to balance the load and letting you adjust foot position to bias the quads or glutes. The guided path makes it accessible for beginners and convenient for higher-rep quad work. Set the feet slightly forward, brace the core, and descend to at least parallel under control.
