Day 1!

darwinforyou

hey does anyone else use a smith machine for their workout? I'm curious....and if they do, do you get the same results? It's not a machine, but it's a more controlled lift if you're just starting.

here's what I did.

Today's weights (using smith machine):

Squat: 50 lbs (not counting bar)

Bench Press: 20 lbs (not counting bar)

Rows: 20 lbs (not counting bar)



Additional:

Sidebends: 15 lbs 3 sets of 12

CALake

I use it only when the boys are hogging the rack. I prefer to squat with the rack, not the smith machine, because you're using more muscles doing it straight. The Smith keeps you on a set track and isn't necessarily as natural.
