The MARCY SM-6200 Deluxe Smith Machine is a comprehensive exercise machine designed for strength training, offering a variety of workout options in a single unit. Manufactured by IMPEX® INC., this machine is built for optimum safety and user satisfaction.
Function Description:
The MARCY SM-6200 is a multi-purpose fitness machine that integrates a Smith machine with a cable pulley system and a multi-purpose bench. The core of the machine is the Smith machine, which features a barbell fixed within steel rails, allowing for vertical movement only. This design provides enhanced safety during heavy lifts, as the user can easily re-rack the bar at any point by rotating it to engage the safety catches. The machine includes adjustable safety stop frames, which can be set to prevent the bar from descending below a certain point, further increasing user safety, especially when exercising without a spotter.
In addition to the Smith machine, the SM-6200 incorporates a sophisticated cable pulley system. This system utilizes various cables, pulleys, and attachments (such as a Lat Bar, Shiver Bar Handle, Ankle Strap, and Single Handle) to enable a wide range of exercises targeting different muscle groups. The cable system allows for both upper and lower body workouts, providing constant tension throughout the movement for effective muscle engagement. The machine features multiple attachment points for the cables, including upper and lower pulleys, allowing for exercises like lat pulldowns, triceps pushdowns, cable rows, and leg exercises with the ankle strap. The tension of the cables can be adjusted to suit individual preferences and exercise requirements.
The multi-purpose bench, which is an integral part of the SM-6200, is designed for versatility. It can be adjusted to various positions, including flat, incline, and decline, to accommodate different exercises such as bench presses (with the Smith machine), dumbbell presses, and abdominal exercises. The bench also includes a leg developer attachment, which allows for leg extensions and leg curls, targeting the quadriceps and hamstrings. An arm curl pad can be attached to the bench, providing a stable surface for bicep curls, enhancing isolation and form.
The machine also features multiple weight posts for storing Olympic-sized weight plates, keeping the workout area tidy and weights easily accessible. Spring clips are provided to secure the weight plates on both the Smith machine bar and the weight posts.
