	Used Smith Machine, Strength Training Equipment
		Smith machines are designed to withstand heavy weights and frequent use, which is why they are an invaluable piece of equipment for weight lifters that workout with weights beyond what a human spotter would be capable of handling.
		Smith machines are valuable to the weight lifter that either prefers to work out alone or doesn't have an adequate spotter.
		I initially used the "smith machine" to perform flat bench press, and was delighted to hit max lift within the first week though the "smith machine" felt a bit uncomfortable I knew this was a frequent occurrence with using new lines of equipment.

	Smith machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, the Smith machine constrains the body to a single plane of motion, which produces unusual strain on the body and is not as effective as developing functional strength.
		The Smith machine can be used for any barbell exercise in which the barbell moves vertically up and down, such as the squat or the bench press.
		It is not suitable for exercises in which the barbell moves in an arc, such as the biceps curl, nor for weightlifting lifts such as the clean and jerk.

	The Lemelson Situation. . . . by Greg Smith - Machine Vision Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Lemelson began a massive campaign to enforce and license his ''machine vision'' patents, and that campaign has been continued by his lawyers and his foundation since his death in 1997.
		The particular machine vision system described in Lemelson's patents was never built as a practical machine in the real world.
		The theory regarding the Lemelson machine vision patents is that no one using 1954 knowledge and technology could have built a machine vision system capable of functioning as described in Lemelson's patents.

		Forward thinkers, the Smiths envisioned the day when steam, generated in a central boiler, could be piped to radiators in all rooms of a building.

		Like any exercise the Smith has a part to play in any regime and so can be effective in busting through a plateau, increase variety thus place new/different stresses on muscles, changes angle of stress and the capacity to keep working safely with heavy weights even when no spotter is around.
		Smith Machine squats (or any squats for that matter) are better than no squats at all, that is for sure.
		Whereas with smith machine squats, you are locked into a plane, which is not the most effective range of motion and the smaller stabilizer muscles are not forced to work as hard.

		The smith relies soley on pushing the resistance w/o the use of stabalizer muscles used while doing a standard bench.
		The bar in a smith machine weighs 25 pounds because of the counter weight.
		I think the smith press is good when a person wants to just put on a lot of weight and push, however, the smith machine is not too conducive for strength.

		The old style Smith Machine Squats: Assuming that the old model of the Smith machine is bolted to the floor (most are not) and has a safety device (most do not), it was regarded as a pretty safe alternative to squats.
		The fact that you’re actually “leaning” against the bar during a Smith machine squat, you’re minimizing shear forces in the lower back.
		This, in turn, eliminates almost all of the damaging shear forces your knees are exposed to during regular squats or squats performed on the old Smith Machine.

		I used the smith machine for the first time, Id avoided it for a year, but I was benching and there was nobody in the gym and the fear of dieing was too great, so I decided to do it on the smith machine.

		I find that using the smith AFTER free weights, at the end of your routine, is the best use of it.

		When I am writing in my training logs and I use the smith machine I just indicate that it is a "smith so-and-so" exercise, then if I am using two 45's on each side, indicate weight by simply writing "+90".
		The reason for this anyway is that most decent smith machines are counterbalanced, so the amount of weight of the bar is nearly irrelevant.
		Most machines will use a belt or cable system to counter most of the weight of the bar (Atlantis, Cybex) which leaves you with a bar weighting less that 10lbs.

	CD Baby: DAVID SMITH: Fastest Machine
		David Smith seems to have taken his parents record collection, crushed it up, then put in a blender with some modern alternative rock, and then poured out something very strange, and interesting.
		Some will you have thinking he’s of the same ilk as the overrated Nick Drake and Elliot Smiths of this world – or, rather, the next, but there is a depth to his writing, missing from such so-called luminaries.
		Smith seems to fit into a simliar category with Joe Henry,Lisa Germano,early"E"(pre-Eels)Nick Drake and Elliot Smith.Beautifully flowing chord structures of acoustic guitar,drums and bass,textured wonderfully with various atmospheric background sounds.David Smith is a major new talent bettering most of the new troubadors by leaps and bounds.

	Smith machine - Discuss Bodybuilding
		That was mainly my rant against a Smith but there are times when it could be used such as when a Power Rack is not available or you have no spotter.
		Well, if I belonged to a gym that had three smiths and one power rack, and the power rack was being used- I might get impatient and use the smith too once in a while.
		Granted you can work your 'shoulders' with a Smith but one of the main goals (at least to me) is to maximize the results from your efforts and that means working in 3 dimensions and not just one.

	MQ911 - Smith Machine Safety
		The smith machine is a relatively simple piece of equipment, commonly found in gyms everywhere.
		If your smith machine has a slight angle (7 degrees is the industry norm) in the side carrier rails, there really is an ergonomically proper and improper way of using it for certain exercises, and using it improperly, you can really screw yourself up.
		Improperly squatting and performing certain shoulder exercise can wreak havoc on your joints, especially the lower back and rotator cuff so take the time to make sure you and your iron brothers and sisters are using the smith machine as it was designed to be used.
