Smith Machines are large gym equipment featuring a barbell fixed on vertical tracks, offering stability during barbell-like exercises.
This workout focuses on the back, the upper posterior torso muscle group engaged in pulling movements and essential for overall shoulder joint function.
Exercises using this equipment provide targeted efforts for maintaining form while exerting safely, making them suitable for learning correct mechanics.
Adaptations for reps and weights are based on male averages of approximately 5'10", 180 pounds, and 35 years of age, but individual capabilities can vary significantly.
Incorporating these exercises will support your progress towards enhancing back strength and stability effectively.
