MISTRESS: An excellent question! Quite simply, the Smith machine is a tool of the Devil. You probably don't need any more convincing! But since this is an infomercial and we have 30 minutes to fill, I'll expand on that. You see, the Smith machine has a bar that moves along a fixed track, in a straight line. This forces your body to move in a single plane of motion. Humans, being squishy and lumpy, do not move in straight lines. When you squat with a bar, the bar will move in a curve as you shift your centre of gravity. When you squat in a Smith machine, the bar does not move, which means your body is forced to compensate. And do we know what that means?
AUDIENCE: Knee injuries! Spine injuries!
Apua!!! Olenko mä nyt sitten tuhonnut mun polveni ja selkärankani smithissä? En tee tavallista kyykkyä smithissä, vaan enemmän etureisille. Jalat todella edessä ja ikään kuin nojaan tankoon. Tuhoaako samalla tavalla polvia? Liikerata melko samanlainen kuin hackissä (joka ei sovi minulle). Kiitos iivili (tai joku muukin), jos viitsit vastata, että voin taas nukkua yöni rauhassa... :(
