When it comes strictly to the development of the "show" muscles with no need for increasing sports performance, the SMITH MACHINE is an excellent tool for bodybuilding when used in conjunction with free weights, cables, and machines.
For athletes looking to increase performance I steer away form machines and the smith b/c of lack of the need for balance and use of stabilizer muscles.
I do agree that belts are overused, although straps are very necessary to those looking for max back development. As for gloves...use or don't. Personally I hate em.
