Code: SSM
Life Fitness Smith Machine with the bar running on guides angled at 7°, which follows your body's natural path when pressing or squatting. Because the movement is always guided, you can train heavy more safely, even without a spotter. Use it for squats, bench press (with a bench), shoulder press, lunges, rows and much more, and at any point along the way just rotate the bar to lock it onto the hooks.
Highlights
- 7° bar angle that follows the natural path of squatting and pressing
- Bar catches every 16 cm along the whole range
- Adjustable stops to limit how low the bar goes
- Light 9 kg bar and a 285 kg maximum training load
- 8 weight horns to store Olympic plates on the machine
- Works for many exercises, from legs to chest and shoulders
How to use
- 1Set the safety stops just below the lowest point of the exercise.
- 2Load the same plates on both sides and get into position under the bar (or on the bench).
- 3Rotate the bar to release it from the hooks and perform the movement with control.
- 4When you finish, rotate the bar the other way to lock it onto a hook.
