next_god Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 My local gym replaced all of the power cages/squat racks with smith machines. I was just starting to really get into strong lits(OHP, Sumo DL, HBS)... I tried making it work with smith machines but since the 'bar' can only move upon 1 axis, it takes significantly less muscles to stabilize the load when moving. FUCK.

Plus the space in my apartment is rather limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

next_god Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 2nd one is a lot safer and nicer looking. Safety is nearly irrelevant if you not what you're doing(e.g. maxing without a spot/using bad form). And nicer looking is arbitrary since I think the simplicity of a bar + a rack is better aesthetic wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
