Are there any negatives to using smith machine over normal bench press and squat rack?
Nope, keep on using it while I'm stuck with this stupid power rack.

the only two goddamn things the smith machine is good for
1. reverse shrugs
2. failure sets for hypertrophy
Fit is gonna hate on smith machines yet almost every pro bodybuilder uses one.

>reverse shrugs
shoulder droops?

What about standing calf raises? I've seen that one mentioned too.
Might as well use a chest press machine.

/fit/ are not pro body builders are they though you absolute cretin.

I use it for standing calf raises. Anything else is almost impossible. It is really easy to lose your balance trying to free-bar calf raises, even if you have incredible balance.

yeah, /fit/ is full of dyel manboob faggots
I've been thinking of killing my bitchtits by bench pressing in the smith machine, because of no fear of dying
Also, no friends to spot me

you use your stabilisators less, other than that, no.
