Smith Machine?? Smith Machine Squat?? Smith Machine anything??

Taking a free weight barbell and turning it into a crappy machine

Designed originally for upper body movements: shoulders, chest, etc.

Adam:

- It’s crap; stay away from it and learn how to barbell squat
- Certain movements, he’s ok with…
- Drop sets (when you don’t have a spotter)
- Some applications to be used as a tool
- Don’t gravitate towards it because it’s “safe” and less scary
- Used for Reverse bench press
- Utilize it as a tool intermittently (advanced)
- Most people use it as a crutch

Justin:
- It does not apply or translate into a barbell squat
- Trains different recruitment patterns
- Inverted row (stationary bar) lol

Free Weights vs All Machines
- Functionality
- Muscle building
- Strength
- Free Weights Superior and Win (Hands Down)
- Hypertrophy
- People with injuries
- Machines ^

Smith Machine = fixed position

Squats, split squats, lunge variation…

Avoid the smith machine forever and develop a world class physique as well as performance.

Don’t Replace Your Free Weight Exercises with the Smith Machine
