oh i skipped the part about smith machines. Hmmm.. I think though that if you havn't got anyone to spot you, you are better off using dumbells or any kind of machine if you want to lift heavier. Sucks when you're trying to hit that next level on the bench only to have it rest on your chest cause you cant make that last rep.
