		<description>Thanks for confirming what I suspected.  I dislike using this type of machine because I felt that I didn&#039;t get as good of a workout as with free weights. When I get tired with the free weights, I start to struggle side to side. I felt that that motion strengthened the muscles that support the core ones. With the smith machine my shoulder would start to hurt before I got tired.  Thanks again</description>

		<description>Thanks Jose. Glad you liked it. There aren&#039;t many pieces of exercise equipment I dislike as much as the Smith machine. The difference between using the Smith machine and free weights is like night and day.

Please stop by again. Even better, subscribe to the site and get a free ebook for your efforts. :-)</description>

		<description>This is a really good post. I&#039;ve been lifting for a little over a year, and never found the Smith Machine a good way to excercise. So instead I use free weight which I found to be a lot better, in fact, I used to have a little pain (maybe was some stress as you mention) in my shoulder while doing chest press on the Smith Machine a while ago, I don&#039;t have the same problem now, and you are right, doing squats are a lot better using free weight as well. Thank you.</description>
