The 4 Upper Body Moves You Should Absolutely Do On The Smith Machine

The smith machine can be the key to unlocking your upper body potential.

The smith machine is a piece of equipment that doesn’t get the respect it deserves. It’s a great piece of machinery to help clean up a beginner’s form and can also be beneficial to a seasoned lifter if they learn to use it to their advantage. While many bodybuilders are likely to stick with a more classical form of training, the smith machine can prove to be just as beneficial to your gains, if not more so. It’s all about having a plan of attack and knowing exactly which exercises you can use to reap the most benefits.

We have a list of exercises that are great for your upper body development. Check out these awesome moves that will ensure plenty of growth for years to come.
