    Goodfella - have a search in the training section, there have been a load of informative threads about this before, they're well worth a read for an informed decision either way

    you probably do not lift your bench in a straight line , if you are then i bet that you can raise your 1 rm just by changing it slightly , most body builders do not worry about this because they're goal is not strength but size and the techniques are different from a power lifting bench where you want the maximum amount of power , the smith machine will NOT allow you to perform the bench for max strength.
