Stabilizers: Upper Trapezius, Levator Scapulae (not highlighted in illustration)
Mechanics: Compound
Force: Pull
Starting position
Holding a loaded barbell with a shoulder-width, pronated (overhand) grip, lie prone (on your front) on a bench inclined at 45 or more degrees and allow the barbell to hang straight down.
Execution
Exhale as you pull the barbell up to your lower chest.
Hold for a count of two.
Inhale as you lower the barbell to the starting position.
Repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions.
Comments and tips
Although the upper trapezius and levator scapulae only act as stabilizers, they are significantly activated when heavy weights are used.
For shoulder safety, avoid using a narrow grip with all upright rowing exercises. To learn more, read the Upright row concerns section of the barbell wide-grip upright row.

“I started exercising and your table is very useful, TOO HAS HELPED ME, WAIT, BACK TO contact them, to show my progress, thanks again.”
Yes, please keep me updated of your results. 🙂
The video for this workout is wrong as it indicated as wide grip but the video show otherwise.
But there a lot of great content which is useful for stepping up my workout as it indicate the muscle group that is being worked.
![Exercise name: Smith machine squat
Exercise type: Compound push
Target muscles:Â Quadriceps (Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Medialis, Vastus Intermedius [deep], Rectus Femoris)
Synergists:Â Gluteus Maximus, Adductor Magnus, Soleus
Dynamic stabilizers:Â Hamstrings, Gastrocnemius
Important stabilizers (not highlighted):Â Erector Spinae, Rectus Abdominis, Obliques
Detailed instructions and videos on my website, weighttraining.guide.
NOTES
The Smith machine squat will allow you to safely squat a heavy weight in the absence of a spotter. Just make sure that you use the safety pins.
Although great for allowing you to safely squat heavy weights, this exercise is not as beneficial as is the barbell squat because the latter recruits more stabilizer muscles and helps to improve your balance and coordination.
Keep your feet flat and your torso upright.
Keep your feet and knees pointing in the same direction.

NOTES
This is a fantastic exercise for strengthening your grip; building your forearms; developing the strength and stability of your core; overloading your back, glutes, forearms, and legs; improving your functional fitness; enhancing the unilateral strength and fitness of your legs; and boosting your overall strength.
Walk slowly, in a straight direction. Do not turn while holding the trap bar as you may damage your knees.
Breathe normally as you walk.
If you want a deeper lift, turn the bar upside down and use the lower handles.
