Why Technique is Crucial for Smith Machine Deadlifts 🏋️🫨

👉 The Smith machine bar moves in a straight vertical line or slightly angled track.

👉 Unlike a barbell, it doesn’t allow natural bar path adjustments, so improper setup or posture can force unnatural joint angles, increasing the risk of injury.
