Sorry, I didn't see this before. I am using a Smith. It sucks but it's all my gym offers and it's tough to beat $10 a month. I definitely do touch my chest on every rep. I feel like I'd be cheating myself if I didn't so I tend to get the full range of motion on every workout.
I was always pretty skinny. I guess I've bulked up now. I'm currently about 175. Generally speaking, I've been around 150 for most of my adult life. I actually got on MySpace a couple weeks ago and found a shirtless pic of myself at 17 or 18 years old. I seriously couldn't have weighed any more than 130 pounds. It was gross.
Anyway, Smith machine be damned, I remember the days when I struggled with 185. I've come a long way.
