Smith Deadlift
The smith deadlift is a compound lower body exercise performed using a smith machine. It primarily targets the glutes, with secondary emphasis on the hamstrings, quadriceps, and lower back. The smith machine provides a guided bar path, which can help with stability and form for those learning the deadlift movement.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Set up the smith machine with the bar at hip height.
- 2.Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.
- 3.Bend at the hips and knees, keeping your back straight and chest up, and grip the bar with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- 4.Engage your core and lift the bar by extending your hips and knees, keeping the bar close to your body.
- 5.Stand up straight, fully extending your hips and knees.
- 6.Lower the bar back down by bending at the hips and knees, maintaining control and keeping your back straight.
- 7.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
