GFI Smith Machine

Overview

A Smith Machine is, and can best be described as follows: A Smith Machine is a plate-loaded piece of exercise equipment comprised of two vertical posts with an open front configuration and a barbell, which is usually counterbalanced, fixed within two steel rails that have several bar hooks at varying heights. A Smith Machine only allows vertical movements once the bar is unhooked, and it is designed to assist in safely performing weight training exercises such as Squats, Lunges, Deadlifts, Presses, Rows, and many others, by allowing the weight to be secured at any point during an exercise with a twist of the wrist to re-hook the bar.
