A visual guide outlining various exercises performed using a Smith machine, typically specifying muscle groups targeted, correct form, sets, repetitions, and sometimes weight recommendations. An example would be a table or infographic depicting exercises like squats, bench presses, and rows, accompanied by instructions and visuals.
Such guides offer a structured approach to Smith machine workouts, promoting proper technique and exercise variety. This can be particularly beneficial for novice weightlifters learning fundamental movements in a controlled environment. The Smith machine’s fixed bar path reduces the need for stabilizing muscles, allowing users to focus on targeted muscle groups. Historically, these guides have evolved from simple hand-drawn diagrams to sophisticated digital resources reflecting advancements in exercise science and fitness technology.
