Machine Squat: how to do it and form tips

A guided squat machine (V-squat or similar) that provides a fixed movement path for heavy quad loading with reduced spinal stress.

Form tips

1. Place your feet at shoulder width on the platform with toes slightly out.
2. Lower until thighs reach parallel, then drive through your heels.
3. Use the safety stops — machine squats allow more aggressive loading.
