Smith Banded Full Squat

Attach resistance bands to the Smith machine bar and anchor them below the platform. Position yourself under the bar with feet shoulder‑width apart and the bands providing added resistance. Unrack the bar and squat down until your hips are below parallel, keeping your chest up and core engaged. Drive through your heels to stand back up, maintaining control throughout the movement. The bands increase resistance at the top of the squat, enhancing strength and power development.
