ALThe smith machine is a versatile piece of equipment that is AWESOME for both beginners and more advanced lifters!
I’ve highlighted 10 movements, but there are plenty more!
A few advantages of the Smith Machine include:
✅ Built in safety hacks
✅ Can be less intimidating than a free barbell
✅ Can help you perfect your form in a more stable environment
✅ Allows you to use heavier weights than a free rack
✅ Better stability
A few drawbacks include:
👉🏼 The range of motion is fixed, so you some exercises can be difficult to perform properly
👉🏼 It only moves up and down, working one plane of motion (unless you have a freedom rack like the one shown in my video where the barbell moves more freely inside of the rack)
👉🏼Doesn’t challenge your stability as much as a free barbell does
I personally love the smith machine!
Was this helpful? What are your favorite smith machine movements? Would it be helpful to show a video on how to use the smith machine?
