I purchased a Smith machine for home. After several months of using it I did develop a shoulder problem. Correlation does not imply causation, but my gut tells me it was the new bench. I stopped lifting and after a few weeks the pinch went away. I am back at it now but keeping the weight a bit lower than I would like.
I am going to sell the Smith rack and pick up a standard unit. After over a year of use now I think I prefer the free weights anyway.
Anyone want a slightly used Smith Rack with a 300 pound stack attached? =)
