Before we dive into more perks of owning one smith machine, let's take a tour on understanding what is a smith machine.
The concept of a smith machine is a barbell is fixed between two steel rail, which allows barbell to move in vertical motion with guidance from the rail. Steel hooks are installed at the side of each barbell, allows users to secure the bar whenever fatigue hits. And as time evolved, some brands decided to give smith machine a fancier upgrade -- by adding more features like cable machine, rower, and bench. These amazing additions further enriched the machine, turning it more popular than other equipment in the gym.
So, why choose the smith machine?
For one, it makes lifting safer -- thanks to it's built-in fail safe. See the hook at the side of the bar? Simply twist your wrists inward and lock the bar into place. If fatigue hits or you feel you are about to lose your strength, just lock the bar to save yourself from potential injuries.
In addition, this feature allows users to bench a lot safer without a spotter. We know some people consider exercise is a rather private matter, and a smith machine might be the machine that you're looking for.
Two, the steel rails helps guiding the movement of barbells, which users can perform movements like overhead press, shoulder press a lot easier than using a free weight. Limited range of motion put more emphasis on one's form, makes the tension isolated on only certain muscle groups. For example, benching with a smith machine might emphasise on the chest muscle more.
