Opinions on this. I like the barbell and dumbells. I use dumbell incline but I also add in a bar type movement as well. The smith machine allows me to focus on my chest.

    One of the main things I like the Smith Machine for. Plus you DON'T need a spotter.

    I go to Planet Fitness so no heavy barbells are available, only Smith Machines. I have to use the Smith Machine but if you have access to barbells, use those as Smith Machine does not allow you to learn to balance.

    If I'm doing incline or decline barbell press, I prefer the Smith Machine. Flat, free weights only.
