Smith Machine
Smith machine or free weights?
I’ve been training my bench press among other things with free weights for quite a while now. I have a fitness test for football, and I want to make one of the bench press clubs. We are given the option to either do the bench press portion with free weights, or a smith machine. If we choose a smith machine, 15 lbs will be subtracted from our max bench. In your opinion, which do you think would be easier? That is to say, with which setup can I expect to put up more weight for one repetition?
Can you practice it and find out? I would guess it’s probably pretty even. The machine would be easier, (they always are) but the 15lbs they add probably evens it out. Since your used to doing the free weights I’d say do that one. It’s what you practice doing.

Awake $5.89 Josh Groban is making it hard for anybody who can’t say “classical crossover” without smirking to maintain an acceptable level of snobbery. Awake, his third studio disc and arguably his most personal–he co-wrote four tracks and favors his native English over Italian–boasts as many bold names as any tricked-out hip-hop disc: Dave Matthews, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Imogen Heap, and Herbie Hancock … |

Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968 $36.00 That the most famous garage-rock record of all time, the Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie,” is buried on the last CD of this four-disc box is very much in keeping with the spirit of the (often) one-hit wonders that people Nuggets. Here, “Louie Louie” is just another great song. An elaboration on the 1972 double LP, which is included in its original sequence, this set piles on dozens more great moments of i… |

The Great Race $5.89 Director Blake Edwards, fresh from the success of the first two Pink Panther movies, indulged his love of classic slapstick comedy with this long free-for-all, which throws in everything but Laurel and Hardy’s kitchen sink. The film reunites Some Like It Hot stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, ably aided by a spunky Natalie Wood. The subject is a New-York-to-Paris auto race in the early years of th… |

Maximum Overdrive $2.16 “I’m gonna scare the hell out of you,” intones Stephen King in the trailer for his sole directorial effort, the much-maligned Maximum Overdrive. While the end result doesn’t live up to that boast, this sci-fi/horror tale isn’t as awful as it’s been described. King’s script (based on his short story “Trucks”) focuses on the patrons of a North Carolina truck stop, which comes under attack by a convo… |
