The RX3 Smith Machine allows you to prioritize safety, simplicity, gradual strength progression, and better isolation of targeted muscles compared to free weights. The predictability of the bar's path makes it an excellent tool for breaking down and totally fatiguing muscles from one angle, thus tapping into the same set of motor units on every rep without fail. Without needing to engage multiple muscle groups to maintain balance and posture like with freeweights, you can push more weight while focused on growing a specific targeted muscle.
This updated model now features an improved range of motion, with the Smith bar sitting only 6.8" higher than a loaded barbell so you can perform deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts (RDLs), and other lifts with nearly the same depth and feel as free weights. Something many traditional smith machines can’t match.
We’ve also raised the storage position of the smith bar to 6'6". This added height provides more overhead space, making it easier and more comfortable for taller users during training sessions.
The new removable safety stopper works like a J-cup: keep it on for extra safety during heavy lifts or remove it completely to unlock the full depth and freedom of movement when you want maximum control.
The RX3 smith machine has a chrome finish and weighs 48LBs with 28mm diameter handle to match the proper specification of olympic barbells. The laodable sleeve length is 13" per side - plenty of space to lift heavy! We're using needle bearings for a smooth glide up and down the guide rods.
The RX3 Smith machine mounts to RX3 crossbars using 1" black e-coat hardware with 2" spacing and designed to fit with our 92" uprights.
