It isn't worth squatting in smith machine at all.

Might be a dumb question but what the hell, dumbbells head level or with hands down?
really a beginner here..

>>37605257
Are landmine squats an option for you? I actually prefer them to back/front squats sometimes.

Arms hanging down.

It's simple! Just take the bar from the bench.

Why do you need a squat rack to squat?

I got better results in the smith than free weight squatting, and I squatted on average more in the free weight side of it.

do people just make shit up to feel superior? yes they do.

How much difference occurs between regular squat rack and smith machine in terms of weight that lifted?

Depends on a ton of things, but its pretty rare that there isn't a significant amount more with the smith machine.

Squats are overrated

Leg press, dumbbell lunges, leg extensions and leg curls are enough.
Oh and calf raises

>>37606244
The Smith machine locks you in an unnatural position and you can't do anything about it, you retard.

Just do goblet squats. Probably fix the form issues that using a Smith machine gave you.

>squats are overrated
>gives 4 exercises to do instead of just one

why not all of those?

>>37607053
no, squats are not overrated, it isn't just a leg exercise, it trains your balance and mobility, hardens your core, your body as a whole, can even help the release of testosterone...

>>37607446
do few from those plus squats..

If the machine is slanted instead of straight, it's fine to do back squats. Otherwise, do front squats.

When you eventually move to a squat rack you will have to deload to strengthen the stabilizer muscles however.
