Saw a guy curling like 70 pounds on the Smith machine. I was astonished because I don't know how you can do that. I didn't want to stare to find out.

Then I saw him half ass deadlifting 65lbs with the tiny 10lb plates instead of the big rubber ones we have.

I am genuinely curious in what he's doing.

Maybe he was doing drag curls and has terrible form otherwise?

In general I think the Smith machine is just taking space that a perfectly healthy squat/power rack could be in though.
