Correct Form
1. Stand facing the Smith machine bar, feet shoulder-width apart. 2. Set the bar just above knee height and grip it with an underhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. 3. Hinge at your hips, keeping your knees slightly bent, and lower your torso until it's at about 45°. 4. Engage your core and pull the bar to your lower abdomen with your elbows close to your body. 5. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top, then slowly lower the bar back.
Common Mistakes
Avoid rounding your back; maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
Pro Tips
1. Keep your elbows close to your body to properly target your lats and biceps. 2. Focus on pulling with your back muscles, not just your arms.
