Here's how I do smith machine Bulgarians for glutes: ✅ I grab a bench and place it 2 steps behind the bar ✅ I grab a weight and stand against the bar ✅ I lay the weight next to my heel ✅ I grab a step and place it over the weight ✅ I lay the bar on my midtraps and I unrack ✅ I keep my upper body straight with the 2 cake city cues ✅ I push my hips slightly back ✅ I slowly lower my glutes straight down ✅ I make sure that my knee stays above my foot ✅ I lower down as deep as possible ✅ I push back up, but I don’t fully extend ✅ I keep tension on my glute Reps and sets example: Set 1: 12 reps Set 2: 10 reps Set 3: 8 reps Set 4: 6 reps I increase the weight as the reps decrease. ONLY increase the weight if you think you can safely do it with perfect form
