Agachamento máquina Smith — Análise de Técnica

Excessive Forward Knee Travel

Allowing the knees to travel too far forward past the toes shifts the load excessively to the quadriceps and can place undue stress on the knee joint, potentially leading to patellar tendonitis or other knee pain.

Rounding the Lower Back

A rounded lower back (lumbar flexion) during the squat significantly increases compressive forces on the spinal discs, raising the risk of disc herniation or lower back pain. This often occurs when core engagement is insufficient or hip mobility is limited.

Insufficient Depth

Not squatting to an adequate depth (e.g., thighs parallel to the floor or deeper) limits the activation of the glutes and hamstrings, reducing the overall effectiveness of the exercise for lower body development and strength gains.
