Smith machines are very safe and effective ways to workout. Smith machines focus on improving strength, building muscle, and improving endurance. The smith machine was invented and constructed by Jack La Lanne in the mid-1950s. Fitness enthusiasts should note that smith machines are very similar to using free weights, but are safer. The smith machines are attached to specific metal wires that help guide the barbell. The smith machine also doesn’t move sideways, forward, or backwards.

As stated above, the smith machine is attached to metal rods that are bolted down into the ground. The machine only moves up and down, which is safe for people that have limited range of motion. The machine also encourages good form because of the safety of the movements that can be performed on the machine.

There are many variations of upper body exercises that can be performed. Several notable exercises that can be performed for the shoulder muscle group can be the standing or seated military press, standing or seated behind the neck press, and wide grip upright rows. Chest exercises that can be performed on the smith machine include bench press, incline bench press, and decline bench press. For the back, movements such as deadlifts, rows, and close grip upright rows can be used on the smith machine. For the arms, movements such as close grip bench press, and curls can be performed.

The lower body movements on the smith machine also include a good amount of muscle activity. For the quad muscle group movements such as back squats, front squats, lunges, split squats, and overhead squats can be performed. For the hamstrings, movements such as roman deadlifts, good mornings, and straight leg deadlifts can be performed. Calve raises can also be performed on the machine to improve calve development.

FAQs

What are the benefits of using a commercial Smith machine?

There are three key benefits to using a commercial Smith machine:

  • Safety — One of the biggest benefits of using a commercial Smith machine is it allows you to easily and safely bail out of an exercise. As soon as you feel like your muscles are about to fail at any point during a movement, all you have to do is rotate the bar slightly to lock it in place, so you can get out of the machine.
  • Stability — Since a commercial gym Smith machine has a fixed bar path, it eliminates the need for you to rely on your core muscles as much for stability during the performance of an exercise. This is particularly useful for learning new movements or making sure you’re properly hitting the muscles you’re targeting.
  • Versatility — Another benefit of using a commercial Smith machine is it allows you to perform a wide variety of exercises, making them a great addition or alternative to your existing gym equipment and accessories.

What is the best commercial Smith machine?

The best commercial Smith machine for you would ultimately depend on your budget, the amount of space you have and the features you’re looking for.

If you just want a no nonsense machine that lets you perform a wide variety of barbell lifts safely, then a traditional commercial gym Smith machine should be more than enough for you. If you want one that allows you to also perform cable exercises and do different kinds of pull-ups, then an all-in-one model would be the better choice.
