A Smith Machine is a Versatile Fitness Tools

Smith machines are versatile fitness tools that can be found in almost every gym. Smith machines allow for a high degree of customization and can be used for a variety of exercises, including cardio, strength training, and interval training. They’re also popular among people who love free weight training or are new to fitness.

The History of the Smith Machine

The Smith machine was created in the early 1900s by Jack LaLanne. This machine was designed to help people with their fitness goals by providing them with a way to work out without having to use weights. The Smith machine is known for its unique design which helps users work their entire body at the same time.

The Functionality of a Smith Machine

The Smith machine, also known as a Smith-Barbell or Smith machine press, is a weightlifting machine that allows you to move vertically and horizontally. This tool can help you improve your strength and muscle mass, making it a popular choice for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. It is a popular choice for beginner and intermediate lifters because it is versatile and easy to use.

Benefits of a Smith Machine

The Smith machine is a weightlifting apparatus that has many benefits. It is a fixed-path machine, meaning the barbell only moves in a straight line. This makes it much safer than free weights, as the bar cannot swing around and hit you. They also have safely locking mechanisms to avoid injury. The Smith machine can also be used for squats, bench presses, shoulder presses, and other exercises. Because the path of the bar is fixed, you can use more weight than you could with free weights, making this machine ideal for strength training. Additionally, it allows you to lift more weight in a controlled manner, which can help reduce the risk of injury.

This machine can be adjusted to different heights and widths to accommodate different users, and the bar is attached to rails that help keep it stable during use. This makes this a great choice for beginners or those who are new to weightlifting. Individuals of all ages can use it.

Here is a great Body-Solid Combination to get all the versatility you need in your home.

Body-Solid Smith Machine – Series 7

This machine will help you tap into your body’s full potential. It allows you to do all the exercises as a fully equipped gym, but with the convenience of being in your own home.

The Series 7 Smith Machine. Set to a 7-degree reversed pitch, the Series 7 allows natural upper and lower body movements for maximum muscle interaction; a feature not found in the traditional Smith Machine.

User safety is provided by 20 cross-member lock-out points that are accessible with a simple 15-degree rotation of the bar, eliminating the need for a spotter. For those exercises that demand free weight movement, the 14-position gunrack with 17″ extra heavy-duty safeties is also set to a 7-degree reversed pitch providing convenient lift-off points and predictable racking.

The Series 7 works great with any bench for intense chest and shoulder routines. The Body-Solid Series 7 is the product of advanced biomechanical design, superior structural engineering and meticulous quality standards. It is a collection of the best benefits the Smith Machine, Half-Cage and Multi-station Gyms have to offer and it’s backed by the best warranty in the industry.

Add the various attachments and there will be no need to see the inside of a gym again. Attachments include: Lat attachment, Pec attachment, Commercial / flat / incline / decline bench, 6-Roller Leg developer attachment, preacher curl attachment.

Over 50 exercises are available on the Body-Solid Series 7 and all of these exercises can be done correctly under your control. Every set, every rep, every movement. This is how you get results!
