How To Make Gains on the Smith Machine | Top 10 Exercises

The Smith machine is one of those pieces of equipment that people either tend to love or they avoid it completely. I think it can be a useful tool for making strength gains. It’s also great when you’re training solo and lifting heavy – you have a built-in spotter. The Smith machine can also limit the use of stabilizer muscles, which allows to focus more on the movement itself and targeting the specific muscles you wish to grow.
In this video, we’ll take a look at my top 10 favorite Smith machine exercises. These are exercises that will help you take your physique to the next level and ones you can easily incorporate into your current routine. With these 10 exercises, you’ll hit every muscle in the body!
Exercises mentioned:
1. Hack squat
2. Feet-elevated straight leg deadlift
3. Zercher squat
4. Hip thrust
5. Banded calf raise
6. Bent over wide grip row
7. Single-arm negatives shoulder press
8. Floor press
9. Inverted rows for biceps
10. Incline triceps extensions

You may have already done this and I missed it but could you do a video on how to create a workout split? I get confused on what body parts to work together to get the most bang for my buck. Thank you ☺️

Another Great Video Loaded with Ideas! Could you please talk about when and how to breath thru the movements. Some exhale upon release and hold their breath during the push. What are your techniques?

Thank you for these Smith variations, especially the banded calf raise and 1 arm shoulder press negatives! Trying them out today as a Z press to hit the core a bit too!

I was told decades ago the Smith Machine was originally a rehab tool for injured returning soldiers. Do you have knowledge if this is accurate? Appreciate all you do & for bringing clear concise info!!

Hi Erin! I will try hex squat!! Would you make a video on squat flaws and correction please? I don’t know what to believe about the wink at the bottom of the squat. Some say it’s normal while others say it’s a big no no. Thanks!

Hey Erin. I've been toying with rejoining a gym - my home set up isn't bad but I'd love access to machines again. This made me very nostalgic for the Smith. Happy Easter! :)
