smith machine bench press vs regular bench press

[MFT81]

Do bench press in a power rack with safty pins set a tad lower than your rom so if you get stuck you can dump it.

I like to do mostly free weights but will do smith press on incline bench for something diff.

as far as the bar, most smiths glide up and down with no effort, they almost kinda float. so I dont count the bars weight.
