Smith machine exercises

The Smith machine runs a barbell on fixed vertical rails, with hooks to rack it at any point in the movement. It trades the balance a free bar demands for stability.

50 Smith machine exercises, each with step-by-step instructions, a demonstration and the muscles it works — grouped by the muscle they train most.
