The actions are different

The movement trajectory of the Smith Bench Press during exercise is mainly straight up and down, so the effect on our muscle training is not very obvious, and it does not conform to our normal movement trajectory. The movement trajectory of the free bench press has a certain arc, so it is more in line with the movement structure of our human body. In this way, it can better stimulate our muscles and achieve better exercise effects.

Suitable for different groups of people

The Smith bench press weight is fixed on the equipment, so the safety is relatively high during the exercise, especially suitable for novices. Because novices may not be able to well grasp the weight selection of the movement when performing free bench press movements, and may not be able to fully grasp the sense of balance during exercise, they are easily injured. So if you use a Smith machine for bench press, you can effectively avoid this problem and perform better exercises.

Security is different

The safety of the Smith bench press is very high. When we push up with both hands, if we feel that our body is struggling, we can relax our arms at any time, and the main movement can be slow. But if we are doing a free bench press, if we do this movement without a coach or someone else to accompany us, accidents can easily occur, especially for novices. It is very dangerous and we need to be accompanied by professionals. Finish.
