Smith machines 3D

3D Smith machines

— unlike traditional machines of this type, where the bar moves along a well-defined path along the rails, the 3D base allows the bar to move freely — both vertically and horizontally. Thus, models with this feature are not so much Smith machines in the original sense of the term, but mechanisms for additional convenience when training with a barbell freely. They are intended primarily for professional athletes who have mastered the technique of performing exercises with a barbell and for whom a limited trajectory is a disadvantage, not an advantage. At the same time, we note that machines with this feature may provide the possibility of blocking the horizontal movements of the bar — for working in the classic format, with a strictly vertical bar trajectory.
