Smith Machine – the gym equipment you would never want to miss

The Smith Machine is the most useful piece among gym equipment. Everyone going for workout in the gym uses this and so during peak hours one can see people wandering in search of a free Smith Machine. Unfortunately most gyms don’t have enough of them.

The machine can be used for most major muscle groups. This makes its use versatile. Just a few dumbbells with you, you can get an entire workout centered around this machine. A good Smith Machine is always counter balanced and will never spin out of the user’s control. It moves very smoothly and the muscles feel very little stress, thus preventing injury.

A Smith Machine, which is already balanced, allows you to focus on perfect form rather than on its balance. Exercises that can be done using the machine include squats & lunges for legs, shoulder press for delts, shrugs for traps, flat bench press & incline bench press for chest, bent over rows for back and close grip bench press for triceps.

Some of the unique features to look for in a good quality Smith Machine is a 5 degree angle for squats and presses so as to match the human body's natural path of movement; flat/incline/decline bench design which automatically adjusts the seat pad to the proper position when the back pad is re-positioned; improved leg extension and leg curl that need no cable changes.

Other features of a good Smith Machine include linear bearing operation, heat treated hardened guide rods, gym style peg, hook racking system,  chin up bar and weight plate storage. There should also be a lifetime warranty for all the components.
