#Info – Smith Machine Frog Pump
The Smith Machine Frog Pump targets the glutes effectively. Common mistakes include using too much weight, which can compromise form, and not maintaining a controlled motion. Ensure your feet are close to your glutes and knees are flared out for optimal activation. To adapt for beginners, start with lighter weights or even body weight to master the form. For advanced levels, increase the weight gradually. This exercise helps improve hip stability and can be a great addition to lower body routines. Always focus on squeezing the glutes at the top of the movement for maximum benefit.
