can we all agree this sums up what most girls are doing in the gym these days?

Why

...

lol there seems to be a lot of hate towards smith machines and I don't really see why. I get it can restrict movement, but that's about the only negative I see. I personally like them. I usually go to gym alone so when I do squats and have no one to spot me, I just use the smith machine (I go pretty hard with weight too because all I need to do is twist the bar and the machine will hold the bar for me). This also applies to chest press. Can someone explain the hate towards smith machines?

Lurk more you absolute faggots

>don't squat in the smith machine
fuck you, bitch

They have a limited range of movement, can lead to muscular imbalance, lead to injury due to the unnatural movement of going in an entirely straight line, etc.

Sadly I know my heavy squats look like this.

Hey Lamar Gantt was assymetrical, it can work

Serious question, I'm trying to squat AtG but my gym doesn't have a power rack or squat rack that let's me go all the way down. I squat in the Smith machine because of this. What should i do?

Myth.

It's the opposite of what you're saying: moreover, smith machines are used for rehab purposes after injuries and the like.

>can lead to muscular imbalance
absolutely not, if they are used for their purpose.

>They have a limited range of movement
This isn't an issue at all.

Your only argument here would be: it's not a compound exercises, therefore it's wrong to replace free weight exercises with smith machine variants and expect the same stimuli and the same results. This would be a very valid argument indeed. A smith {bench, squat, whatever} only **mimics** the equivalent free weights exercise, but it has to be considered for all internet and purposes a machine exercise and an isolation exercise. So, smith machines can be a *good* complement to your routine for isolation purposes and/or for rehab.
I'd go even further and say: squat + smith squat >>>>>> squat + leg press.

Sadly most noobs (and juicers) only do the smith variants.

fucking autocorrect

If your gym doesn't even an half cage, change gym.

Step out of the squat rack and go with out safties

Get a new gym or learn to fail without fucking yourself.

Better off doing high rep goblet squats or something overhead with DBs or a medicine ball

That's Chad.
You can't just fuck him. You have to work for it.
