How do I do the 5X5 program with a smith machine?

[Anonymous]

So I'm training with the 5X5 program and I need a bench press to do te workouts. Well at my gym we only have smith machines, no bench presses. Can I still make the 5X5 program work only using the smith machine?

isn't there a bench that you can wheel over to the smith rack?
if so just do it like you would a regular bench press.
I'm not sure why RaggaMon doesn't think LA fitness doesn't have regular bench press.
The 3 I go to in my area do.

If all you have access to is the Smith machine you should not be doing the 5x5. You won't be able to do the exercises properly especially deadlift and the row. You need to switch gyms or switch programs.

Smith machine is for homos, stop going to LA fitness.

No, not really. I'd find a different gym, if I were you.
