Good idea Funk...
Partlow goes to many good ones, I think they're on season 8 now for that show.
His own gym in Vancouver looks pretty great (West Coast Iron). I think they (he and Dusty) just did a show on it last month...

Have never seen one like this...

Okay machine for presses but not squats. By the way, I believe I was the first to build a Smith Machine with linear bearings back in 1982 or 83.  I started making gym equipment in 1975 and opened a factory in 1981.

Great gym in Texas. Lots of machines I haven't seen before.

Im not a fan of any smith when it comes to squats, yet I do them occasionally on them.
I like Smith's for pressing though. Thise one seems nice with those bench handles...
