sometimes after a workout I secretly eat the boogers. Hasn't been caught yet I think. Just wanted to share.

I like the Smith machine. It is good.

What?

>>77329824
I just don't get what these things are for.
Is it safety? I tried a shoulder press on it once and felt like I was going to get trapped under the bar, because it couldn't move forward away from me.
I'm not anti-machine at all, I just don't understand what benefits these have over free weights. Every home gym rack has the option of a Smith machine attachment nowadays, so people are clearly using them. But for what?

What? Sometimes I leave boogers under the bench and check on them during my next workout

I think being able to rack it at any time tricks people into thinking it's safer than it is and people ignore setting up proper safeties. Also most lifts don't go in a perfectly straight line so certain lifts can feel awkward

Goated at planet fitness where the dumbbells often max out at like 50 or 60 lbs. Smith machine incline press or smith machine bulgarian split squats made it easy to push intensity in such a pussified gym (mostly said in jest, planet fitness had a good combo of pleasant old people and fit bitches when I went in the mornings). I changed gyms and finally have options again but I appreciate smith machines for what they are. Might not be the most optimal for gains but the people bitching about it need to try harder

Nigga what?

True.
