Yes, beginners can use the Smith machine as it provides a controlled and guided lifting environment. The Smith machine's fixed vertical bar and safety features make it a suitable option for those new to weightlifting. With the barbell attached to a guided track, it minimizes the need for stabilizing muscles during exercises, allowing beginners to focus on form and technique. It is particularly helpful for learning compound movements like squats and bench presses with reduced risk. However, proper instruction and supervision are recommended initially to ensure correct usage and prevent injuries. As users gain confidence and experience, they may gradually transition to free weights for a more comprehensive workout.
