Smith Machines

Smith Machines

Smith machines are the safest way for serious weight lifters to work out at home. Although a smith machine may look like a power cage, it offers little to no risk of injury thanks to its set plane of movement and lock-out points. Serious weight lifters want to push themselves to failure in order to build significant muscle mass. Smith machines are so popular because they combine the feeling of free weights with the safety of traditional resistance machines. You can perform a wide range of exercises, such as lat pulldowns, upright rows, squats, military press, pull ups, seated rows, bench press, shrugs, bent over rows, curls and more.

Choose a smith machine if:

• you’re an experienced lifter
• you want to lift heavier (multi-gyms offer approximately a 95kg weight stack)
• you want the feel of free weights training combined with extra safety elements.

A clear benefit of a smith machine is that it ensures your barbell is balanced. This means that you can all focus your energy on lifting the weight and keeping your form, rather than worrying rather than worrying about keeping the barbell stable.
