Smith Frankenstein Squat

Set the bar on a Smith machine at shoulder height and stand facing the bar with your feet shoulder‑width apart. Grasp the bar with a slightly wider than shoulder‑width grip and unrack it. Lower into a squat by pushing your hips back and bending at the knees while keeping your heels flat and core engaged. Descend until your thighs are at or below parallel, then press through your heels to return to standing. This variation emphasizes controlled movement through the quads and glutes with guided bar path stability.
