On a machine the range of motion is guided, which makes it safe to train alone — but the settings must be adjusted to your own body, or the movement will be felt in the wrong place.

⚠️ Most common mistake: Rounding the lower back as the bar lowers, which puts serious risk on the spine. Squatting the bar down instead of hinging back, which removes the glute-and-hamstring stretch. Letting the bar drift away from the body, which loads the lower back instead of the rear chain. Letting the knees cave inward, which strains the joint and loses the wide-stance bias.

💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Glutes. The Hamstrings assist.
