Default Re: Smith Machine

the smith machine is good for a lot of workouts like squats and such...but to ME I will never base my bench press workouts on it again......i think its great for if your doing a light chest day or hardcore leg workouts...but as far as building strength on your flat bench it will only fool you!
You will be getting stronger and stronger on the smith machine, but as soon as you hit that flat bench you will have forgotten how to balance the bar and will be surprised how weak you will be at that point.....so its a good machine but dont BASE all your workouts on it , especially chest....but thats my insight on it...
