This will allow you to work for the various muscle groups with multiple exercises in the barbell, Smith machine, and cable formats. Even better, both these gyms have lat tower options available that can be bolted to the back. This means you can lock your lifting bar out of the way up top, and set up your barbell just like you were training on a squat rack. The Barbarian Line and Megatech Smith Machines both come standard with barbell supports. This secondary mechanism will add that extra level of safety. If you tear a muscle or other serious injury, you may not be in a position or condition to actually lock the lifting bar out. I strongly recommend that this is utilised. The Smith machines we sell have a secondary safety mechanism, which acts as a stopper to the lifting bar.

Often with barbells with or dumbbells – the equipment the so-called experts say is the safest. They nearly always stem from using too much weight and/or incorrect form. In all my years selling fitness equipment, I have never heard of someone saying their injuries were the result of a Smith machine.

I often wonder why these theories are applied to Smith machines and no other type of fixed plane machine, such as a leg press. Make up your own mind about the benefits.
