Is it safe to assume that anyone that """bench

>>42352081
No. That is not a safe assumption, given that "reretarded" is not a thing.

>>42352081
i do incline and decline with smith machine bc i have no one to spot me

>>42352104
Why don't you use the power rack and safeties, my buddy? It's what I do.

>>42352116
Moving all the bars around is more annoying than just adjusting the bench.

>>42352143
I hear ya. I love you.

>>42352160
y-you too

>>42352081
It's a far safer assumption that anyone who cares what other people do with their lives is a sad, pathetic autist.

>>42352160
thanks
>>42352204
unironically this, if you actually care, you should leave the gym now.

>>42352081
It's not a natural bar path, so it's a one way ticket to snap city.

>>42352081
I was born without the right peck muscle so I have to use this or I will hurt myself :(

>>42352227
Oh no! Is there anything I can get for you, buddy?

Anyone that doesn't do one arm barbell pushups is reretarted. They require even more support muscles than dumbbell benches.

>>42352245
That should say benches, not pushups. Samefag here.

I had to do this once at a hotel gym. It sucks and you don't get nearly as much out of the lift

>>42352081
no you dyel faggot

maybe if you use it as a main exercise, but using the smith for accessory work is fine

It's probably for chest imbalance. Instead of using bands.

>>42352081
nope. goat tier for guillotine press. kys validation seeking dweeb.

>>42352227
Lemme see a pic. Like if you flex nothing happens? How do you feel like a shirt?

Yeah, when I started benching I was only using the smith machine at my local college. I did gain some strengh but my balance was fucked up because you don't have to keep the weight steady, you just push. When they got rid of the machine I was surprised that I couldn't do as much as I did with it without shaking and looking like a pussy. Luckily it only took a few sessions to adjust.,

If you use smith machines you are a fag and will never make it absolutely no exceptions

This. Benchpress isnt a vertical path. It slants. You cannot do a proper bench press with this.
