I also see guys use the smith machine because they can use more weight.
The smith machine at my gym is counterweighted by about 45 lbs or the amount of the bar.
So, you arnt really doing more.
Smith machine is too guided for my liking.
Shurgs maybe but never any pressing with the exception of military press due to injury. |
Yea thats what my feeling was. As I'm trying to improve my bench (as mentioned in a previous post), I've been trying to stick to the barbell when I trian with a mate. I've moved my bench from 70kg to 85kg on the barbell, in about 3 weeks. But on the smith I can do 100kg, thought it was too good to be true, lol.
Cheers guys.
