Improved Stability and Safety
Unlike when you use a barbell and squat rack, the Smith machine provides a fixed bar path. This can help reduce the risk of injury and ensure a stable lifting environment.
“The Smith machine helps the athlete feel supported and gives them greater control and stability when performing an exercise,” says Mauro M. Maietta, district fitness and education manager for Crunch Fitness.
In particular, new lifters can benefit from starting out on a Smith machine so they can focus on their form while being supported by the machine.
