A Smith Machine is a not a Barbell! We all know that.

I lagged with my response. Brendon has it covered!

Done.

What's your name, lazy? I put lazy in brackets so that it's clear who the training diary belongs to... but it looks like your diary is lazy (lol)... so I could amend the (lazy) to (real name) if you'd like.

Hey Lazy, will you give squats without the Smith Machine a go?

permalink · 23-10-2009, 05:32 PM

Ill give it a shot.

You will build a much stronger core this way. You can't actually squat properly on a Smith Machine as it is in a fixed axis, that is no good. You won't be building your stabilising muscles and won't be building outright strength.
