since my one side is weaker than the other due to diving face/neck first off a dumpster years ago, i use the smith to do one-armed benches at the end of my regular reps to strengthen the right pec/tricep a bit. it works pretty well.

it puts your body in such a bad position if you're actually hitting depth using a smith machine. you want to keep a pretty straight bar path when squatting, but a smith machine restricts your bodies natural movement and forces you to follow the path of the machine which is just asking to get injured. I try telling people it's actually safer to free squat than to use a machine, but they look at me like I have a dick on my forehead. jokes on them.

it's a damn shame you don't like to bench because you look like you are built to bench.
