Safer and More Effective than a Free-Weight Bench?

For anyone looking to get stronger and more toned without a workout buddy, the Roller Smith Machine from Powertec offers a safer and more effective alternative to the traditional free-weight bench. With its revolutionary carriage system, this multipurpose machine allows you to perform compound exercises with maximum weight, all while eliminating the need for a spotter.

No Spotter Needed

Unlike a free-weight bench, the Roller Smith Machine incorporates adjustable safety catches on either side of the bar. These catches can be set at any point along the bar's path to catch the weight if you fail on a rep. This means you can confidently lift heavy without a spotter standing by. The safety catches provide peace of mind so you can focus on proper form and muscle activation as you progress to new personal records.

Stability for Compound Exercises

The Roller Smith Machine features a barbell that is securely driven along a fixed, vertical path. This provides unmatched stability compared to the wobbly nature of a free-weight bench. Stability is key for safely performing compound exercises like squats, shoulder presses, and chest presses with proper form.

Full Range of Motion - Hit All Angles

With the Roller Smith Machine, the bar glides vertically up and down, allowing you to isolate muscles through a full range of motion from top to bottom. This leads to more complete muscle activation and development.

Built-in Spotting Rails for Extra Safety

In addition to the adjustable safety catches, the Roller Smith Machine also features high-quality spotting rails built into the frame. These provide an extra level of protection in case you reach muscle failure. With just the twist of your wrists, you can engage the safety latches, giving you the confidence to lift heavy without a spotter. The spotting rails also allow for easy racking and unracking of the bar at various heights.

Workout Versatility: The Powertec Roller Smith Machine

The Roller Smith Machine isn't just a one-trick pony - it offers unmatched versatility for strength training.

The fixed bar path and adjustable components, like the optional Utility Bench and Lat Tower, allow you to perform a huge variety of exercises for a complete workout.

Here are just some of the many exercises you can safely perform on the Roller Smith Machine:

Chest Press

Begin by lying back on the Utility Bench, then press the bar up from your chest to engage your pectoral muscles throughout their entire range of motion. Ensure that the catches are adjusted to enable a safe lowering of the bar all the way to your chest. Remember to maintain straight wrists and keep your elbows tucked in to effectively isolate your chest muscles.

Shoulder Press

Stand upright and press the bar overhead to specifically target your deltoid muscles. Make sure to maintain a braced core and keep your wrists straight throughout the entire movement. Adjust the catches to sit just below your lowest point to provide added protection for your shoulders. Concentrate on executing controlled motions, and remember to squeeze your deltoids at the peak of the movement.

Squats

The fixed path of the barbell will assist you in maintaining a perfectly vertical form as you power through your heels, effectively engaging your quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings. Make sure to go deep in your squat to target your leg muscles through their full range of motion.

Bent Over Rows

Position yourself in front of the bar, bend at your hips, and grip the bar with your palms facing down. Unrack the weight and lower the bar towards the floor until your elbows are straight. Maintain a flat back as you pull through your elbows towards your belly button, effectively targeting your upper back muscles. If you want to engage your biceps more, use an underhand grip. Remember to squeeze your shoulder blades together at the peak of each repetition.
