Smith Machines, pros and cons...?
I have never used a smith machine until this week. And to be honest I absolutely loved it. I did rows, upright rows, and shoulder press this week all on a smith machine. Now I know that it definitely knocks off alot of weight with the guide rails but I felt that it help me be more focused and symmetrical on my lifts. My question is if it is alright to depend on smith machines for some primary exercises such as shoulder press, squats, and bench...I also plan to do dozens of other free weight and cable exercises. I am not trying to rely solely on the smith. Whats your guys take on smith machines? Is there something I am missing because so far it seems to be a real help.......thanks in advance
