Is the smith machine a meme?
Seems more dangerous and less efficient compared to free weights/barbells.

Is the smith machine a meme?
This is her now
The gym is such a meme if you don’t have someone experienced training you for competition
Notice how most gym pics are fat girls and dudes dont post themselves because they don’t have a body
I dont have the post but the gym is dudes that go because they think a girl will like them
I got bigger arms after 3 months of chin ups. I wouldn't go shirtless in public but a singlet worked well.
What even is the point of that?
I want to diet and exercise to live forever like Bryan Johnson
Im bored and have nothing better to do
>What even is the point of that?
Arms are all that matter in public as they're really the only muscle people notice. Some people notice my calves as well but for whatever reason they're not as attractive.
See? Right here? Why do you care what strangers think? Why are you so insecure?
The average gym goer is some insecure low self esteem dude
You need therapy dawg because you care so much what strangers think
>Why do you care what strangers think?
To avoid trouble or to attract girls. Being a big c**t will make a trouble maker think twice about fricking with you.
What are you even doing here? Go be DYEL somewhere else
>if you don’t have someone experienced training you for competition
Black person every living fitness/bodybuilding person has a youtube channel now. You can literally coach yourself with the world's top athletes' advice. There are no more excuses left to not make gains. Demand more of yourself & do the work.
Where are her eyebrows?
She ate them
>not just fat but grown into a granny in 7 years
geez
b***h became the 70 kg
>this is what a 28 year old looks like
yeah i missed out on life. it is what it is i gues i just give up at this point. im 29 and i still see myself as a kid. i guess i was kinda aware of it but i havent been consciously thinking about it that actually vast majority of people that i view as old are actually younger than me and the ones that i think look young and good to me are actually like damn near 10 years younger.
idk im not even mad about it im more so just sad that i didnt get to experience life with a woman during the years they still look pretty. to all the zoomers out there, dont wait for the "right time" or to find the "right one". you need live with a sense of urgency, you MUST secure yourself a girl in late teens or early 20 AT THE LATEST.
>guess i was kinda aware of it but i havent been consciously thinking about it that actually vast majority of people that i view as old are actually younger than me
i had trauma in my youth & have this same feeling. i'm also a younger sibling which adds to it. fortunately I still look young and am pretty lean, but I'm 28. I lost my early 20s to alcoholism & it's mostly a chaotic substance abuse blur. I feel like I should be 23 still & I wish I hadn't wasted all that time being useless.
sometimes life is hard. you just have to focus on persevering through the pain and growing from the struggle. grow your income & you strength, & you can get back some of the joy you missed out on.
Godspeed.
Still would
I dont care about safety, its gay so i avoid it.
Ask her out already, jeez. Shes handicaped, her standards might be low
>he doesnt know
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHABHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Explain
>Shes handicaped, her standards might be low
Ah, the sweet naivety of a virgin who never spoke to women...
She fell on her ass, and the bar dropped down on her back. I am struggling to imagine how this happened.
prob slipped while doing pic related
>body center of mass
>bb center of mass
>feet placement
what the frick is this?
It's a more dangerous skateboard squat.
nani?
have any of you homosexuals ever been in a gym before? holy shit
>you havnt been to a gym if you arent aware of all the redundant, dangerous nonsense dreamt up by women and homosexual PTs
“Quad targeting” smith squats are so fricking gay. Thank you.
Basically a way to turn the Smith machine into a leg press
it's a quad biased smith squat, moron
I had a trainer for a few months and he made me do these. This is such a dogshit terrible unsafe machine it's insane that such a thing exists. It's a guillotine you have to squat with terrible unstable foot placement
Every time I see some chick squatting in the smith machine they never set the safeties.
smith machines is a physics error, it should be illegal to build a machine locking you in place with the possibility to slam your ass down with added weight
dumb people who dont understand the risks will do something stupid, think theyre too cool for latches/safety pins just like most long term lifters avoid pins
because they have good form and know how to drop barbells upon failure.
smith machine is such a pointless investment, just do free weights, barbell squats.
>squatting in the smith machine
>squatting without safeties
>squatting IN the smith machine without safeties
Womemes were a mistake.
Damn if only there was a way to use a squat rack and bar with a system in place that prevents the weight from falling below a certain height.
Kek. Let the zoomers do it to themselves i guess. They hate free weights so much it makes no sense to me.
>Women should only be allowed in the gym for men's post workout muscle worship
I don't trust machines. I can tolerate barbells and dumbbells but I think it's best to lift rocks and do calisthenics like god intended.
never squat
The smith machine is great for taking heavy movements to failure without a spotter. People are just moronic.
I think most people who use smith machine fall into a false sense of security. They think that if anything goes wrong that they can just rotate and lock the bar so safeties are a waste of time. They just don't realize how fast things can go wrong
I've gone to failure numerous times on Smith incline and Smith behind the neck press and all I need to do is rotate to the bar to get the handles onto the closest rung. Sounds like a serious skill issue here.
stop squats. they are evil meme. they are exhausting, make you ugly and can cripple you. fricking stop. thunder thighs never look good no matter if your moid or foid.
I squatted in the smith machine yesterday and I forgot the safeties and the floor was unironically slippery as frick because the stupid old boomer lady who works at my apartment mops the ENTIRE area and doesn't leave the smith machine area dry
this coulda been me bros, scary
wtf is it with old cleaning ladies and mopping up deadlifting platforms and squat racks and leaving them wet and slippery afterwards
i got hpv from a prostitute but you don't see me complaining
I use the smith machine for hip thrusts and that is about the only thing I can think of that makes sense to have a guillotine device locked directly above your spine.
But I am one of the only people to use safeties in the rack for incline bench n shit
>70kg
HAHAHAHA squatlet
almost like she shouldnt have been another ethot chasing gram followers for having a huge shitter and instead, do something meaningful and selfless.
I will never figure out why women use this piece of shit to squat when a barbell+rack is better and much safer.
It's not totally a meme. Some advanced lifters can and do make use of it, but overall it's such a dangerous piece of shit that gyms would be better off without it.
>what if I mess up and people judge me
thats pretty much it as much as it doesnt make any sense. somehow smith looks more user friendly than the scary free barbel.
It's one of those things where it *feels* safer, despite actually being way more risky, like riding a bike on the sidewalk instead of the bike lane, or bouldering instead of top rope climbing, or getting fat instead of a scary form of exercise like surfing.
Personally I think the warnings on the Smith machine should be more conspicuous and the safeties should be bright orange.
About half the posters ITT seem completely unaware of the fact that smith machines have safeties too.
post your smith machine booty pantyboy
>squatting noobie weight
>described as "gym addict"
>profile pic is her ass shoved out in shapewear with no indication that she is fit, simply has decent fat distribution genetics
Many such cases
These things are some of the biggest DYEL bait in the whole gym.
I saw a guy load up for a smith machine SHRUG this morning.
>puts up safety bars so he doesn't have to pick 135lbs from all the way off the floor
>lets go of the weight from top shrug position after every set
>crash sound effect
>hurriedly squeezes his dainty body between the rack and the mirror
>so he can flex from 6 inches away between sets
I squat in the smith machine because the free gym at my place only has a smith machine. It's not any different than how I squat in a squat rack.
you guys are so autistic
