Angled smith machine 📐 Which way to face?? For a quad focused squat, face forward. This is ideal because it’s going to push you into knee flexion. For a glute focused squat, face backward. Facing this way accommodates a leaning motion to maximize hip flexion which is needed for more glutes. Both of these will also apply to lunges and split squats🙌 For an RDL, face forward. It’s angled away from you because your hips go back. Although this smith doesn’t go low enough for rdls so I wouldn’t use
