accident Bench Press

I use a Smith Machine to bench press. Some people struggle with the slightly limited range of movement but it’s safer for heavy weights. I currently bench 117kg (257lb), and like the safety features of the Smith.

The machines are ancient at my gym which is inside an old sandstone school building. There’s a random mix of metric and imperial weights, hence my odd bench weight. The dumbbells are blackened chunks of cast iron, but it is actually good motivation and makes you feel like a Viking 😂.

This Smith Machine is NOT at my gym, and is just for illustration purposes 😂😂😂

Drop that shit immediately and have someone spot you. Horrible motion, bad for shoulders on press and elbows on curl, prone to future injuries. They are literally one of the worst machines to use for exercising, if you want to lift big, have someone with the means to spot you, or do an alternative exercise that won't fuck your joints up. then lets not even go into how bad it is for your back if squatting..........

I've used one once and never again, absolute wank, less muscle engagement using these pish machines.

You want form on muscle and strength gains, you won't get that all rounded shape if using guff like this.......just targetted specific muscle shape. Which makes you look dogshit.

But that's just my humble experiences from lifting weights for a lot of years.

Started at 56kg bodyweight now 90kg bodyweight..... 5,10.

Stupid to attempt what something he was clearly not capable of in the first place but with no spotter and no one around to get the weight off it is common sense to push the bar up to tip the weight off.
