smith is good when you don't have a spotter. I always keep in mind that the bar on this machine is only 15lbs so I always add extra weight to compensate for that to get as close to the more natural free weight lift. Nothing can replace free weights but smith machines are good too when you want to max to failure on your own with no spotter. IMO. Good lift though. Keep banging away!

If you took the bar off the machine and weighed it, it would weigh 45lbs. It has nothing to do with the bar, it's easier because the machine balances the weight for you as you move it up and down.

It is 45 for a free weight bar but for a smith machine it is really only about 10-15 lbs.
