The Smith Machine Wide Stance Sumo Squat is a lower-body strength exercise targeting the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and especially the inner thighs (adductors). Set your feet wider than shoulder-width with toes pointed slightly outward beneath the Smith bar. Lower into a squat by bending at the hips and knees, keeping your chest lifted and core braced. Push through your heels to rise back to standing. The Smith Machine’s fixed path provides stability, letting you safely load heavier weights and focus on controlled depth. Gymcheq recommends this move for athletes looking to sculpt strong, balanced legs with extra emphasis on inner thigh engagement.
