Your cart is empty.The PowerLine Smith Machine (PSM144X) combines the power and resistance of free weights with the safety and control of a machine, giving serious lifters a comprehensive solution for home lifting. It features four 2 by 2-inch 12-gauge steel pillars that support and guide the patented Super-Glide carriage, delivering frictionless movement during even your most vigorous sets. Heavy-duty adjustable safeties and 14 lockout points spaced 4-1/2 inches apart provide an exceptional safety system for solo lifters, with the dual-lock Safety Spotter Catch System preventing the bar from pinning the user in a max-out situation by simply turning the pivot sleeve 15 degrees. Jumbo pop pins can be quickly and easily adjusted to help you come to a safer, predetermined stop with greater straight-line stability. This weight rack measures 45 by 76 by 80 (L x W x H) and weighs 158 pounds. The 1-inch-diameter bar accepts both Standard and Olympic sized weight plates (weight plates, sleeve adaptors and collars sold separately). It is backed by the Powerline 10-Year In-Home Warranty, which covers the frame for 10 years and all other parts for 1 year.

I have no idea what other reviewers are talking about in relation to friction. Slides up and down easy no matter what I'm doing. Just make sure you've put the little plastic discs so the disk is inside not outside because that is what it slides on.. put this together by myself in an hour and a half. Also, this exact same machine is being sold elsewhere for £599..

de entrada viene en dos guias, con mal servicio al cliente y poca informacion. Ya armado esta hecho con materiales de mala calidad, endeble, inseguro, viene sin pesos (no se dejen engañar por la foto) y no le ajustan los pesos habituales de barra, necesita un adaptador, que por cierto no ofrecen al menos aqui. En general siento que fue una mala compra, y me parece un equipo peligroso e inseguro

This is a great Smith Squat Machine and it is a great price. It is solid and I would say one can easily and safely squat with 400 to 450 pounds. Very well constructed and doesn't take up much space so perfect for a home gym. It took about 1.5 hours to assemble and instructions were good. Using the Smith Squat Machine allows you to squat with your back straight, feet closer together and pointed straight ahead therefore most of the stress goes towards building up the quads (front thighs) as opposed to a barbell squat where you work your thighs, glutes (butt), lower back and even hamstrings a little. In just a few months I have added significant muscle to my thighs that I wasn't getting from regular squats. My legs have gone from 23" to 24" and I see that continuing despite my advanced age. As far as Smith Squat Machines go, this one based on quality and price is the obvious choice and I highly recommend it. Note the barbell is for standard (1" hole") weights. You can use Olympic plates (2" hole") but not designed for them.That said, it is important that you understand the purpose of a Smith Squat Machine and its Pros and Cons versus doing regular barbell squats.Pros: For building up the size of your quads and especially the outer quads, it is superior to barbell squats, leg press, hack squats, leg extensions etc. This is because you are isolating your quads and using much less of your glutes and lower back so better than regular squats. Also because you are standing, it is a better quad muscle builder than leg presses and hack squat machines. Another huge benefit is you don't need a spotter as with barbell squats, you can safely workout alone in your home. Another plus, unlike the barbell squat you can go to absolute failure and push yourself to brink without fear of one of those horrific squatting accidents you see on videos on YouTube. Also, as with standing calf machines you are much less likely to injure your back on the Smith. As with regular barbell squats they are also fine for the knees. The biggest plus of all is if you are fairly tall and especially if you have long legs relative to your torso, you will be very comfortable in the Smith while regular squats will be awkward as you have to lean too far forward to balance the barbell (see photos of Arnold).Cons: If you are competing in sports such as Track & Field, Football, Basketball, etc you must do regular barbell squats and not use a Smith Machine. The Smith Machine does not develop the stabilizer muscles and balancing strength needed for sport competition. I no longer compete at anything and just want to build up my quads without overdeveloping my glutes so the Smith is perfect for that and better than regular squats. My personal routine is 3 months of Smith, then 1 month of regular barbell squats then repeat.

Habe die Smith von Simple Products am Tag nach Bestellung geliefert bekommen.Aufbau: etwas kniffelig alleine aber in 1 Stunde locker machbar. Das einzige Manko sind die kleinen Plastiknoppen in der Stangenführung. Bei diesen habe ich den Stift mit einer Zange etwas pressen müssen um sie durch die Bohrungen zu bekommen. Sind leider zwingend Notwendig damit es nicht hängen bleibt und sauber läuft.Zum Gerät: Bis 180kg belastbar was für manche Übunegn etwas wenig scheint aber dennoch ausreicht. Wichtig ist die Sicherheit hierbei. Ich trainiere alleine und konnte vorher nie Schulterdrücken bis zum versagen mit hohem Gewicht machen ohne dabei Chaos zu stiften, mit der Smith geht das einwandfrei. auch 45 Bankdrücken geht damit super. Shrugs lassen sich auch sicher ausführen.Die Qualität ist gut und wirkt im ganzen stabil und solide, das Gerät ist auch nicht sonderlich leicht :pAlles in allem bekommt man hier ein Top Gerät zu kleinem Preis das Sicherheit bringt und dich mit etwas mehr Gewicht trainieren lässt.
