Who does there Bench Press on Smith Bar?

[hewlett]

sucks in a way since its straight up and down lifting only

 

[muscleup]

I use it to mix things up sometimes or if I'm already pre-exhausted after other sets,seems to work rather well

I dont like the smith machine unless im trying to burn up chest ill stay away from it.

I was using it the practiacally the whole first year I was at the gym and when I switched to freeweights I couldnt lift shit.

only for delt but rarely

the smith bar only weighs 15 pounds as opposed to a normal bench which weighs 45, that may be why people think they cant lift shit... cause the weight they THOUGHT they had on the smith machine is actually 30 pounds less...
YUM

I only use it when Im already bolloxed and I dont have a lifting partner. I prefer free weights for most exercises.

Some Smith Machines have no counter weights at all so they do weigh 30-45 pound depending on the machine. I use it when I train alone, which isn't often but I do. I have had to dump the weights off the bar in a panic more than once so I won't do bench alone anymore. Unless like I say it's on my Smith Machine. BTW I train at home so I can't ask for a spot all the time.

I do my incline presses on smith machine.

I do heavy close grip bench for my tris and heavy upright rows for my delts and traps all on the smith. I can't do flat cuz for some reason it pinches my nerves from shoulder to elbow and fucks up my neck.
