My DH is buying us a Smith Machine!

[janiejoey]

I can't believe it! Now we'll be able to do exercises we wouldn't be able to do otherwise.

Can anyone out there give us some suggestions on which one to purchase?

I'd like to add the leg attachments, and want to be able to lift up more that 40 pounds using my legs. Also perhaps something for the chest area, a cross thing a majig for the pecs, we both could use that as well.

Any ideas? I'm so excited!

Janie

The idea is to die young as late as possible.

I love our smith machine. In fact, I've been lifting super heavy since June pretty much and have made rather significant strength gains. I don't use Cathe's strength workouts much anymore, except when I want a change of pace.

Someday, I'd like to add something that would allow us to do lat pulls and other pulley exercises.

Have fun!

THERE ARE A COUPLE I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT FOR AWHILE NOW:
WWW.DICKSSPORTINGGOODS.COM AND WWW.SPORTSAUTHORITY.COM
THEY LOOK LIKE THEY DO THE SAME THINGS. I AM LEANING TOWARDS THE ONE AT SPORTS AUTHORITY BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPIER AND INCLUDES THE BENCH. LET ME KNOW WHICH MACHINE YOU CHOOSE - MAYBE I WILL CONCERN THAT ONE AS WELL.
