deadlift on smith machine planet fitness

The deadlift on a Smith machine offers a controlled alternative to the traditional free-weight version, providing accessibility for beginners and a distinct training stimulus for seasoned lifters. Utilizing the Smith machine’s fixed bar path allows lifters to refine their form and technique without balancing challenges. This method engages major muscle groups such as the hamstrings, glutes, lower back, and upper traps, in a safer setting ideal for those with balance concerns or recovering from injuries. Adjustments in foot placement can even tailor it to target specific muscles.
