IS A Smith Machine RIGHT FOR YOU:

Some of you might be on the fence if you should get a smith machine. So if you are wondering — should I? Shouldn’t I? Here’s my answer: if you ONLY train for Powerlifting…then no. Probably not. However, if you are like me and you primarily train for HYPERTROPHY (with a Body Building focus), then the answer is YES.

SET UP TIME IS THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE TO HAVING A SMITH MACHINE versus having JUST a power rack. Moving around J Hooks, Safeties, and barbells within a Power Rack for each exercise can be time consuming. However, with a Smith Machine – everything is much faster Since everything is already connected. You are only changing heights.

I especially love Smith Machines for

Incline Bench Press
Decline Bench Press
Standing Calf raises
Seated Shoulder Press
Split Squats
Shrugs
Inverted Rows
One Arm Negative Bench Reps
Front Squats
Belt Squats
And Many More!

Do I need a functional Trainer:

The amount of versatility you can achieve with a Functional trainer is unparalleled - being able to work on every major muscle group with a VERY QUICK SETUP time - will take your workouts to a new level. This cannot be overstated. Once I got a functional trainer, in my home gym my workouts became more effective, more efficient, and more enjoyable.

Critiques:

Since this is a budget-friendly option, is it perfect? Certainly not. In the video. I do offer some critiques (so I won’t repeat them here). However, it would not be fair to expect $5000 features from a $1000 product. AS-Is – the value you are getting with this product is exceptional.
