How to perform B-Stance Smith Machine Romanian Deadlift

1. Set the Smith bar near standing thigh height and take an overhand grip just outside your legs.
2. Unrack the bar and position your feet so you can hinge while keeping it close to your legs along its track.
3. Move one foot a short distance back, raise that heel, and keep most of your weight on the front leg.
4. With soft knees and a steady back position, push your hips back to lower the bar.
5. Reverse the movement by extending your working hip and finish upright without leaning back.
6. Complete the repetitions, secure the bar, and switch the leading foot before the next side.
