OK, this may seem a stupid question to most but here goes...
When training w/ a smith machine, how do you figure the w8? With a normal bench I know the bar weighs 45 lbs. So if I were to lift say 200, I would need to add 155 lbs. And with a smith machine it seems easier to move more w8. Is this because you aren't relying on the stabilizing muscles?
