Exercise Instructions:

Setup for the smith machine squat by setting the bar to around shoulder height and loading the weight you want to use. Stand under the bar with your legs around shoulder width apart. Grasp the bar with a wide grip and position the center of the bar on top of the muscles on your back. The bar should not sit on your neck! Keeping your back straight and eyes facing forwards, take the weight off the rack. Take a slight step forward. Keeping your eyes facing forwards and back straight, slowly squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Pushing up through the heels, raise the the bar back to the starting position. Repeat for desired reps.
