Hello,
Can anyone give me advice on things I can do on smith machines, and not what to do on smith machines? I've looked up videos before going to my new gym, but when I got to the gym I was so confused... I spent like 10 minutes trying to figure out how to position the bench and all this crap.
This is only a temporary gym until my main gym opens back up, it's close to me, and barely anyone there. They only have smith machines, dumbbells of course, benches, and machines, and other equipment, but i'm more of a barbell person.

New gym only has smith machines, not sure how to use them.
There is only one Hell: the one we live in now.

You can all sorts of things on them and the use, but I find the movements unnatural for most exercises. Off the cuff, the only exercises I liked doing on one were shrugs, rows and calf raises.
I did find this great video on a Smith bench press though. I'm pretty sure there's a Smith machine in the video anyway.
