>gym replaced one of two power racks with this today what's

The counterweight also pulls some of the weight for you, so you aren't really lifting what you think you are.

You can use it to kill yourself faggot

It doesn't seem to be counterweighted. Just ball bearings.

The one at my gym has a counterweight so the barbell is only 25 lbs. When you move the bar up, it sort of glides up a little further when you stop pushing.

What is your OHP working weight?

>tfw saw a lightskin nigger with fingerless workout gloves squatting 3pl8s on the smith machine
what is the fucking point of this if there is a sqaut rack right beside you, the form for squatting on a smith looks so goddamn autistic and dangerous I see no point at all

Maybe a dumb question but couldn't you use that particular smith machine as a power rack? Just face the other way.

You can't actually squat properly on the smith machine since the path of the bare is not a perfectly straight line up and down. It exists to fuel retarded ego inflation.

i honestly wanted to walk up and bitch slap him in the face, I find it hard to believe there are people this stupid in the world

>>41006959
Technically yes.

>>41006972
But you can't squat 3pl8 in a smith machine though

>>41005417
You could ignore the bar and use it for solo PR benching

>>41006975
I dont want to kill myself youre right. You have to put your legs so far out in front of your body to make it work its just straight up dangerous

>>41005417
I wonder what they did with the old rack? maybe its at the managers homegym lol
