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.

You honestly think that if you weight lift you have a 'life'? 

 

What's your criteria for having 'life'?

True, but it's nearly impossible to do isolation without those obscure machines. Plus the space in my apartment is rather limited

2nd one is a lot safer and nicer looking.

Do you even lift? I know you're one skinny lad.

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.

damn that must suck
