It isolates your legs more. Smith machine squats are really beneficial if you’re a bodybuilder. It’s obviously a retarded waste of time though if you’re a power lifter.

I get way more of a pump/workout in my legs doing smith machine squats or hack squats as opposed to free bar squats. And yes, I do use full rom and good form on free bar squats. This just seems like a hard reality for some people to accept. Machines have more of an ability to isolate muscles more. And the more isolated a muscle is the better it grows.

>that Indian who spends 30 minutes doing nothing but curl variations

DB front raises

That exercise where you hold up a plate infront of you and pretend it's a steering wheel

Deadlifts with less than 135lb

Anything women do

This shit never fails to amaze me.

Pretty much everything that involves weights and rigid movements. Go sprint hills or sand at the beach. Full body requires more base strength than body part split routines

It's a exercise created by the british to practice for their muslim overlords.

>that fucking position
Then you fall on your ass and the weight snaps your spine.
Many such cases!

we need pajeet free gyms

This made me lose it for no reason.

You mean thot wheels?

lmao

I thought the bus driving was a good prevention exercise to minimize the risk of injury in your rotator cuff ?

>anything a woman does
Saw a lady at my gym put a bench under the smith machine, lay down, and begin leg pressing the bar
Tbh every exercise looks really goofy except the ones we see a lot on media like push ups or bench presses

Good mornings and “front rows”. I can’t help but go out of my way to tell people to choose an alternative when I see it happen in my gym. I try to keep to myself most of the time, but you gotta draw a line at some point and save some people.

This
I have no idea why we have them at all.

Women doing fucking anything. Thots take up valuable equipment while lines form, do one rep of retarded crossfit nonsense, rest for 10 minutes while texting and repeat for the next hour
>dude just ask to work in XD
Nobody who has ever spoken to a female with a clear existing lack of self awareness or common courtesy would ever suggest this

Lol this has to be bait

Do you have an upper chest/front delts?

whats wrong with smith machine squat? You not supposed to jerk the bar around.

>indian wearing a polo comes in
seriously, why the FUCK don't they have any gym clothes?

>Smith machine isn’t bad it’s just horrible for squats
Forgive my ignorance, but what is it actually good for then?

In my gym, people only seem to use it for bench press, which I'm fairly sure isn't a good idea.

Haven’t done that many good mornings but I do see some dudes do them. What’s wrong with them?

You forget
>gets a phone call

Upright rows and catback deadlifts.

faggots are arguing its more easier to injure yourself with meme videos. idiots will always injure themselves not being aware of their strength.

You realize you can adjust the height of those things, right? Just look at the picture.

>I can’t help but go out of my way to tell people to choose an alternative when I see it happen in my gym.
Make this thread somewhat worthwhile and actually post some good alternatives.

>T_D telling anyone to go back
Oh the irony

Smith machine shrugs for huge traps is legit though...

Wait what's wrong with front raises

Straight leg deadlifts, I just can't comprehend.

They're okay for calf raises, at least personally I can't do them with a normal barbell due to balance

Your back is put in a ridiculously risky position. Good idea. For good-mornings, I think the best overall alternative is the Romanian Deadlift. The position of the bar makes this lift infinitely safer, and it works the same muscles (mostly hamstrings with lower back). To actually target the lower back some more, glute/hamstring raises (aka back hyperextensions) are a good choice. The heaviest lift you can do that specially targets mostly the lower back is the rack pull. TLDR: RDL, glute/hamstring raises, rack pulls.
For “front rows”, just stick to the OHP. Your front delts get a murdering on that exercise. Flat and incline bench press will also hit them pretty hard.

It works your upper chest you dingbat

Calf raises are ok with smith machine.

Good lad

I've hated that shit from the beginning of times, even when I was dyel

Whats wrong with the smith machine?

>t. DYEL

Really bad range of motion and weight balance, doesn't train stabilizers etc. It's okay for some exercises but shouldn't be used as a replacement for existing ones

I do calf raises on the smith machine, its good for that

Alright, good to know, thanks. I normally don't use it but occasionally there are people doing weird shit in the power cage for like 30 minutes so I just use the smith machine then. But I'll try to avoid that from now on.

Yeah personally I'd just do some accessories while waiting

Fat women doing anything but cardio.

Oh, the cables are moving on their own then?
