The smith machine is possibly the most hated on piece of gym equipment in history. The controversy over whether the smith machine is a legit piece of equipment or a wussy replacement of the barbell will never end. No matter what your opinion is on the use of this machine is there will always be the person to shut you down and tell you the exact opposite. I don't have much of an opinion on the use of the smith machine. I agree with both sides of the argument. I think the smith machine in certain situations is a wussy version of the barbell but there are also a couple exercises I use this machine for that don't work as well with a traditional barbell. I do calf raises and shoulder shrugs on this machine because it helps isolate the muscle I am trying to work where the tradition barbell would put strain on various muscles.
