I fell off my gym game but benching 295 on a smith machine isnt the same as benching 295 for real


if you not really benching with any real static or tension,....
plus, it is better to use a smith machine.
if you do not use standard Olympic size equipment, and are traveling to gyms that do.
I use the smith machine to transition to Olympic style equipment from old style equipment before standards.
as a matter of fact, I still like my older bench.
not those egghead software designed by a fukk'n nerd who never lifted ass equipment.
plus I never had or will use a spotter.
So, I use the smith machine and used it to my advantage.

Drake's trainer is a fukking moron. I've seen videos of shyt he's had Drake do before, and dude obviously has no clue what he's doing.

Not only is benching on a Smith machine easy (adds 100+ pounds to your bench) but its also dangerous; especially if you go heavy. Its an unnatural range of motion, and regular usage of it can fukk up your joints. Squatting on a Smith machine is even worse.

fukk that hotel excuse too. You got to A) find a hotel that has a suitable gym, B) find a real gym in the city your in, or C) work out a different body part. Drake is doing more harm than good benching on a Smith Machine. The fact that Drake's trainer thought it was a good look to post this shyt on Instagram shows me just how little of a clue he has.

I think low key his trainer is trying to clown him a little by posting this. I go to the Y and no one uses the smith machine unless it's a chick doing squats or big dudes going really heavy with those shoulder presses but benching:stopitslime:

i was gonna say, unless he's injured, that shyt doesn't make any sense. and even injured, why would you go heavy if you're injured?

then again, dude looks like he's in good shape and if it's working for him then :manny:

I be trying breh :mjcry: but plain eggs in the morning are gross to me and I can only have grilled chicken like 2x a week. After that I get grossed out by bland food and then skip meals and that makes it worse

You don't have to eat bland to eat healthy.

I hope that Drake didn't ask him to record that. I am not going to get into all the machines and that, people already have, Im just saying it looks real bad regardless.

So Drake, the guy who spends 45,000 a month on a mansion, is staying at broke hotels? :dry: Not to mention the gym has a smith machine but not any other free weights :dry:

Squatting on a Smith machine is even worse.

Can you detail on this?

My gym doesn't have a squat rack, so everybody squats on the smith machines....I do calf raises and deep squats on it....in my gym, to do free barbell squats i need to use a barbell from a bench press and support it to the dips machine, which is a fukkboy move cause you disable 2 equipments for you to do 1 exercise, so you are obligated to use the smith machine

I only use smith machine for shrugs.

If the gym they were at didn't have regular benches he should went with heavy sets of db bench.
