Squat racks and smith machines are a popular piece of weight traning equipment found in fitness centres and home gyms around the world. Squat racks are usually a steel frame with spotters to hold an olympic bar or barbell. You can load up the bar with weight discs and step in and lift the bar off the rack. Smith machines consist of a barbell/olympic bar that is fixed within a steel frame and allows vertical movement.
Squat racks and smith machines can be used for a range of different exercises and are useful for those who wish to weight train but do not have the luxury of a spotter. You can lift a heavy weight with the added security that the bar is supported on the rack or in the machine.
One criticism of a smith machine is that it does not develop the stabilisation muscles, as movement only takes place in one plane, but this aside they are a safe and effective way of weight training.
