How to do it
- 1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart under the bar of the Smith Machine.
- 2. With knees slightly bent, hinge at the hips, pushing them back and lowering the bar while keeping your back straight.
- 3. Lower the bar until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, then engage them to lift back up to the starting position.
