When you walk into the gym, the first thing you see is rows of steel equipment. People who have just come into contact with these devices will soon lose themselves, and they don't know what to choose and practice, what this device is for, what's the use of practicing, and why to use it like this. Soon, I touched the Middle East and the West in these instruments. Regardless of willy-nilly, I practiced first, and then I practiced what others practiced, but I didn't know that the seemingly same movements would change with a slight change in the exciting part. In fact, fitness is not only muscle exercise, but also the corresponding brain. Let's take a look at an instrument we often make-Smith machine, and see if it is suitable for all trainers and how we should use it.

Smith frame is a fixed instrument. We can do many actions with Smith frame, such as Smith frame bench press, Smith frame squat and Smith frame shoulder push. So since the Smith machine can do these movements, can we rely on the Smith frame to complete other barbell movements except the flip? However, this is not the case. Why else do gyms have squat racks and bench presses besides Smith racks? Obviously it is particularly limited. Let's talk about the advantages of Smith machine first.

stability

As a fixed instrument, Smith frame is better than one word-stability. Yes, the Smith frame controls the stability of the movement very well, which depends on the fixed trajectory of the barbell. When we are training, we don't need to control the balance and other issues, we just need to conduct strength along the trajectory of the barbell. You don't need to control the stability of the barbell like ordinary movements, and you can't use most of your body's strength. This is intuitively manifested in the weight gap. For example, you can squat 100kg with Smith frame and squat 80kg freely, which may be very difficult.

Smith frame has just been designed and produced mainly as rehabilitation training equipment. Originally used in rehabilitation, I didn't expect to walk into the gym and become an instrument for mass training. As a rehabilitation training equipment, its safety is beyond doubt. Many people who have just come into contact feel very safe and comfortable in the process of using it. When exhausted, Smith's frame will not fall freely, causing harm to the trainer. Many commercial gyms don't have free squat racks, so switching to Smith racks can reduce the chances of injuries for trainers.

Look at the two sides of things correctly, grasp the balance between them, take the essence and discard the dross, and choose what is useful to you for training. But everyone's training goals are constantly in demand, and whether there are differences is not exactly the same. It is very important to choose the training method that suits you. After all, what suits you is the best. The purpose of this paper is to simply analyze Smith's framework. Let's take a brief look at this device. Fitness first strengthens the brain, and understanding fitness equipment is also part of fitness. I hope everyone can find a training method that suits them.
