Smith machine vs free weights

[MickeyKnox]

So am I hearing subtract 5lbs due to the counter balance? Doesnt seem like enough!

Why use it...@recon. Safer lifting with no spotter and being a small gym sometimes it's open when the other 1 rack and 1 bench are not!

No. They are saying subtract 40. It only takes 5-6lbs to move the bar on the smith, according to the others. I agree.
