What Machine Mimics the Barbell Squat?
Exercise machines can lend more stability and balance to your workout, creating a safer way to perform the barbell squat that can be extremely dangerous because it is performed with free weights with no back or leg support. Machines give you the option of practicing with little to no weight to make sure that you have the proper form for the exercise and help you to avoid the high impact movements that come from adjusting and moving large amounts of weight while performing the barbell squat. Exercises focus on the glutes, hamstrings and quads just like barbell squats.
