You can clearly see that it's a power cage.

to be fair someone needs to do something in the smith machine or else the bearings will seize.

you don't want your gym to spend money on another smith machine do you?

I saw a video of two guys doing squats in a smith machine with 25 pound pl8 on planet fitness. Needless to say I was horrified.

/fit/ confession: I don't even know how the fuck to use a Smith machine.

I'm pretty much the only person at my gym who uses the power cage.

>tfw getting a squat rack at my gym used to be ezpz because nobody used them at all
>tfw lately everyone and their sister is doing 15x100 squats or curling
Group of 5 dudes were literally having a curl-off. Grown ass men were competing to see who could curl the most weight
And the people who squat think you have to do like 8 sets with 5 minutes test in between
Fucking hold me /fit/, I can't go on like this

It's pretty straightforward

Squats are a little awkward. It just feels wrong. I did them backward from what everyone else was doing so eh

Deadlifts - can't really do these but I have seen people do what I think are romanian deadlifts

Mostly people seem to do bench/incline bench, shrugs, and calf raises and squats with the smith machine

tbqh I sorta like the idea of rows in a smith machine

Lmao, me neither. First time I went to the gym with a buddy who knew what he was doing pointed to it and said "ignore that thing".

I've never used the smith machine either. First gym I joined had a bunch of Olympic lifters as strength PTs, and they helped me with form.

I do smith squats as my last exercise on leg day. I start off with 6-7 sets of low bar back squats, followed by 3 sets of front squats, single leg extensions, then smith squats for dat quad pump

Do you have an actual t bar? Or do you compromise the integrity of a barbell for your selfish attempt at gains?

Basically not many gyms have a t bar setup/machine/thing/device. So not many people get the chance to do them.

>there's always this group of wannabe OLY niggers doing supersets that take 15 minute breaks
>just use smith machine because fuck all that noise
>do double what the guy yelling and puffing does

fuck you if you do this
just because it's late doesn't mean you get to suck your own dick on the squat rack for an hour
