Benefits and types of exercises with the Smith / Multipower machine

Exercising is essential to maintain a healthy and active life. There are various training methods, and a very effective option is to use strength training machines. Want to boost your training results? Multipower machines allow you to develop strength, endurance, and improve your health while reaching your goals.

BENEFITS

INCREASE MUSCLE MASS:

When training with strength training machines, you improve your muscle strength as it helps target more specific areas. Smith machines allow you to control resistance, and muscles are subjected to constant effort which, combined with a diet tailored to your goals, will help you achieve muscle growth and progressively improve your strength.

IMPROVE POSTURE AND STABILITY:

Its ergonomic design promotes the correct alignment of your body during exercises. This prevents injuries and reduces back pain. Additionally, working on Smith strength training machines improves stability and balance, as many exercises are performed in a controlled and safe position.

CONTROL AND PRECISION IN EVERY WORKOUT

The Multipower machines allow you to control the amount of weight you lift, as well as the speed and range of motion of each exercise. This is especially beneficial if you are a beginner or undergoing rehabilitation, as it gives you the opportunity to adapt the training to your fitness level. Additionally, when performing exercises on strength training machines, you avoid incorrect or unbalanced movements, reducing the risk of injury.

TYPES OF EXERCISES ON MULTIPOWER 

Another great point about training with these machines is the wide variety of exercises you can do. Below, we share some of the most popular ones to include in your workout:

SQUATS/SQUAT

This exercise works several muscle groups, including the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings. With your Multipower, you can safely and effectively perform barbell squats.

• Adjust the bar height to shoulder level, place it on the back of your shoulders, and slowly lower until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
• Push through your heels to return to the starting position.
• Perform 3-4 sets of 10-12 repetitions to strengthen your legs and glutes.

BENCH PRESS

• Adjust the bench height to chest level and place a bar with weights in the appropriate position.
• Lie on the bench, keep your feet firmly on the ground, and grab the bar with your hands shoulder-width apart.
• Slowly lower the bar until it touches your chest, then push it up until your arms are fully extended.
• Perform 3-4 sets of 8-10 repetitions to strengthen your pectoral, deltoid, and triceps muscles.

LEG EXTENSIONS

• If your machine has a leg extension pad, adjust it so it fits comfortably on the top of your ankles.
• Sit on the bench, grab the side handles for extra stability, and extend your legs until they are straight.
• Slowly lower your legs back to the starting position.
• Perform 3 sets of 12 to 15 repetitions, maintaining control of the movement at all times.

LOW PULLEY ROW

• With the multipower training machine, you can adjust the resistance and use the low pulley to perform the row.
