Smith Machine Bench Press Community

I put 45 on both lol I’m good with it 😝

When I stated 3 months ago I couldn't even bench 50 lbs today I'm benching 180 lbs 💪

The machine is so old that it creaks and feels unnatural when lifting and lowering it.. It looks like dust has piled up, it's sticky, and it seems like it hasn't been cleaned.. Ha.

↳ 우리 같은 헬스장???

What other machines can replace this exercise?

↳ 벤치프레스 덤벨프레스 혹은 체스트프레스머신

Keep working to be a better version of my self

Why does my shoulder hurt when I lower the bar?

↳ 누웠을때 어깨가 가슴보다 더 올라가 있어서 그렇습니다. 어깨는 바닥에 붙히고 등바닥을 붙힌상태에서 민다고 생각해보세요

🥵

Mine says 35kg plates both sides so I’m doing 70kg total not including bar

That is amazing bro, See what happens when you back yourself. While it may have felt like a step outside the script and I’m sure you knew that weight was to much you did it anyways, that clearly demonstrates that your capabilities extend far beyond what you might have initially imagined. And you pushed it anyways. Congrats bro don’t hurt yourself but smashing PB’s. Continue being you

Anatoly said this is easy !

Every time I do chest exercises, my right trapezius hurts. How can I solve this? I think it's asymmetrical. ㅠㅠ

↳ 바를 현재위치보다 약간 아래쪽으로 두고 해보세요 너무 바가 위쪽으로 설정되어있어서 그럴 수도 있습니다

💪

Weight is for plates only. Not the bar. What’s the weight for the smith machine bar?

↳ 20lbs

How do I breathe? I keep getting confused..ㅜㅜ Do I exhale or inhale when going down?ㅜㅜ

↳ 이 운동뿐만 아니라 미는 운동에서는 밀 때 당기는 운동에서는 당길 때 숨을 내쉰다고 생각하면 쉽습니다.

What should I do if I can't lift a barbell? What exercise should I substitute it with?

↳ 덤벨 벤치프레스나 체스트 프레스 머신이요

It's been a week and the weight has definitely gone up ㅜ

"Why are you telling me to put in 30 from the beginning?"

↳ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 그러니까요 ㅋㅋㅋ

Is the tip a bit lower? Should I align it there?

↳ 응, 배꼽보다 위에 있으면 갠춘

🦍

35 is total wt including ROd or without ROD
