Smith Machine Bench Press

The Smith Machine Bench Press is the same as a regular bench press except you're using a machine. The Smith Press is actually a multipurpose machine used for a variety of exercises, not just the Bench Press. You can move the bench around, or take it out so it can be used for shoulder press, squats etc.

The Smith Machine Bench Press is a very popular machine used in gyms to work the pectoral muscles (chest). One of the reasons the Smith Machine is a popular for working the chest is because having a quick adjustment to the bench, the machine can be used to hit all parts of the chest (upper, middle and lower). The Smith Machine is also a favorite chest exercise for many because the Smith Machine has built in safety guards that can be used to serve as your own spotter. This will enable you to push yourself further than you might otherwise by adding heavier weight or going for additional reps.
