everything must be backed by scientific fact on this site you know this, so keep trying.
there can be no grey area on getbig, its either black or white.

Smith Machine is kind of good to use on reverse grip decline bench for triceps. Other than that I have no idea what it's for.

I normally don't agree with Woo on much, but he's right on this one. A lot people on here also agree with the way that nerd was doing a partial bench.

smith machine has its uses but free wight is vastly superior,
a lot of guys abuse smith for ego purposes

Smith machine is OK for a few things (seated press behind neck) but not for benching or squatting...

And Ruhl swore by the Smith machine, coincidently, he tore his pec on the Smith Machine.

Smith Machine is great! Benches Inclines Squats Shrugs! If you have been training for years it is especially good, don't need to develop all the stabilizer muscles you need when you are starting out!

Just because you can do a variety of exercises on them - it doesn't make them great. That's not a justification. Urine is a liquid, therefore I can drink it. That doesn't mean it's a good drink.
Smith machines are great in that if you have been training for years and you're now lazy as fuck (or deluded by steroids that you're doing an effective workout), you can "retire" in the gym by loading up weight on a fixed track and convince yourself into thinking that it's just as good as free weights - which it isn't. Meanwhile - those of us who haven't given up improving (efficiently) continue to man up.
It is the implicit truth that doing free weight bench will increase your smith bench - but it is far from necessarily true that doing smith bench will increase your free weight bench. If you don't care, fair enough. Just don't try to claim that it is "as good" as free weights.

I use it for inclines presses. It's not a mainstay of my chest workouts, but it's a good tool for when my shoulders aren't feeling up to par. I can concentrate on pressing and it keeps you in the groove. Also, it's great if you don't have a spotter... you can go to failure and easily rack it yourself.

"Stabilizer muscles" oh brother
-
yeah,ill admit, i use the smith machines bc ive gotten lazy after years of training and have no further ambitions than to keep what i have now.
the free weight stuff is for the guys who arent there yet. :D
i dont think the muscle knows whether its contracted by using smith machine or fee weight anyway.
however, i wouldnt ever go as lazy and resort to cable machine only training, that is really for absolute newcomers or when one is sick.
doesnt matter where an individual is free
for me personally the appeal of lifting is telling myself im never there...
but yes the smith has it uses where a lot of guys go wrong is they substitue it for free weights.. becuse they can pile on weight and try to look impressive...or pretend they are moving massive weight

you can mock any training style
powerlifting style, lol ego lifters who look like shit and think anybody should care about poundages
bodybuilding style, lol ego maniacs who pump and pose in front of a mirror with no athletic abilities
olympic weightlifting style, lol bunch of delusional fools with tights and heels think they are athletes and "explosive" and all that
cross fit style, lol bunch of morons with shit form at everything
etc

Can you read? Never said it was as good as free weights! It is fine when you have been training for years and have developed your base after years of training. Good for maintaining along with other exercises. I did not say you will increase your bench! You are an idiot has nothing to do with drugs. I have used it for Squating , Bench and Inclines. You must be a twink who has no muscle if you can't use it and benefit from it!

the classic part is the first guy when he racks it then does that swingy arm touchy feely stuff with the look on the face like he is sore so he an excuse to feel himself.
that my friends is in every gym, along with that flingy arm shit that guys think is warming up before benching

I don't post often enough for people to understand that it's a deliberate ironic gesture but just so you know, you're the first person to attempt to correct it.

I can read.
I realised after I posted that I never made it clear I was only responding to your multi exercise comment and then I was just talking generally.
But then I realised, life is short and the internet will just have to read between the lines :)
