its on a fixed track so if your joints are in a bad position its not going to be good. your body can't correct the position of the bar or the position of your body (you're pressing agains the bench) and you'll end up with fucked up joints if you're not careful.
i hate smith machines
yea might try them again, but free weight this time
very true, but not exactly what balboa is talking about. he is talking about the cable machine. standing. put the small single handle grips on the bottom. which will be one on each side and perform it the same as a standing fly. only catch is u r pulling the weight up with the fly instead of pushing it down with a fly like u would be doing if u did the same exercise but put the handles on top instead of bottom.

I know what you're talkin' about boa - kills the lower pecs. But I don't think reverse fly is the name for it. Haha I always just write 'low->high cable fly' in my log. Don't know what to call it.
yea starting to really focus on keeping shoulders back and working the chest. Been switching my routine up each week, and still getting sore after my workouts!
Gonna try the neck press next week, probably on the smith to get the hang of it
need to get this chest up help! im gonna start doing less volume/high intensity, doing blood and guts routine that i started last week. hopefully this will spark some growth, maybe its just over trained?
i think its a combo of ego, not always keeping strict form, and too much volume. alls i know is i just want a big chest
everything else is pretty solid, except maybe traps and back thickness.. heres a more recent pic taken a few months ago...
look pretty good bro, IMO focus a little more on the traps
thanks man. eh maybe im a little hard on myself, but my pecs are definitely lacking. i had a friend of mine give me an opinion and he agreed they are lacking
i understand big man, a buddy of mine i work out with is always fucking with me about hoe small my chest is, i know its pretty small and i work chest harder than anything else! i kill it because i feel like it isnt proportional to thhe rest of my body, it looks good in a shirt but not out, pisses me off
