5 Stupid Exercises you should stop doing

Anything with a Smith Machine
Picture 4 of 5

With the possible (and almost entirely useless!) exception of standing calf raises, smith machines are absolute trash and do not have any purpose other than taking up space in a gym. Smith machines prohibit the development of stabilizer muscles while simultaneously restricting movement to an awkward trajectory, rendering every exercise awkward, imprecise, and slightly unsafe. Unless you want to dick around with standing calf raises for some reason, there is no reason to ever touch a smith machine.
