The Pro Series 5 Degree Smith Machine, from Force Fitness, is aimed at people who want something that holds up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn plain terms, this is a rack intended for regular use rather than occasional. Full specifications are shown on this page and in the product images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink garage gyms built around one central station, and squatting and pressing safely without a spotter.

Confirm what is included rather than assuming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePriced at R32 741, it is the 176th of 210 racks we list (R1 120 to R49 665). Worth comparing before you settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck bolts and fixings periodically, particularly after the first few weeks of use as everything settles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor context on how often adults should be training muscle groups, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/physical-activity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"\u003eWorld Health Organization physical activity guidelines\u003c\/a\u003e are a sensible, independent starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe specifics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Force Fitness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategory: Commercial Strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: SM5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: new unless the listing states otherwise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are planning a full setup, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/strength\"\u003eStrength\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/smith-machines\"\u003eSmith Machines\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/upper-body-machines\"\u003eUpper Body Machines\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/benches\"\u003eBenches\u003c\/a\u003e are the sections that usually go with this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommercial and home equipment differ mainly in duty cycle — how many hours a day the frame, bearings and upholstery are designed to take.
