So today at the Greenwich Y, I decided to finally try out “The Smith Machine” doing squats. It was real easy and it felt good. It really works your quads pretty hard. Today was my leg day for my workout routine. I also had to do the Standing calf exercise on the “Smith Machine”. They have a seated calf machine at the Y but no stand calf. So I had to do the stand calf on the “Smith Machine”. With the “Smith Machine” you don’t really need a spotter at all ’cause that’s what the machine is used for so you don’t have to use a spotter. You can do various exercises on that thing. Squats, stand calf, bench press, etc.

I don’t think I’ll be able to handle doing squats with a regular barbell, but the Smith Machine makes it easier for me. I decided to try that machine in honor of Jack Lalanne, since he is the one who created that machine.

I’m glad I tried it too. Will use that on a regular basis. I’m going to try bench pressing on the Smith Machine,when it’s my chest day next week. The Smith Machine is very safe. No spotter needed.
