I just don't understand how this is even an issue. It's like $10 worth of metal.

Barbell is superior to dumbbells because you can put more weight on a barbell and lift it.

>mfw can't do squats with weights outside of a squat rack because of chondromalacia patella on both knees
>>
>>40834402
What's the difference? Just drop the bar.
>>
>>40834423
What do you mean? My problem is that without the rack it's hard to do the weighted squat with an actually meaningful weight without feeling pain on my knee. And it's ok for the first or second week, but then it'd start to swell and training leg would become almost impossible.

A squat rack and an olympic rack is the same thing, except the safety bar. You're talking of a smith machine, faggot!
>>
>>40834499
Oh yeah that one. Sorry, I don't live in an English speaking country so I don't know how to say everything in English
But I'm not losing anything by squatting in the smith machine, am I? Or should I maybe lower weights and go for the rack?

You probably should consider a low bar squat, where your knees doesn't go beyond your toes.

>>40834526
>>40834574
Felt like being nice. Start with the bar and do starting strength.

I'm limited when it comes to squats because of knee issues as well. In my case I've found that front squats and zercher squats are much easier on my knees because of the difference in center of balance.

Tsatsouline has a great article somewhere aboit why the smith machine is the literal devil. It forces a highly unnatural movement, very very few exercises are worth doing using the smith "snap city" machine.

Shouldn't lowbar be easier on your knees?
>>
>>40834574
My quads are already underdeveloped in relation to my posterior thigh, so I'm kinda reluctant on doing low bar squat.
>>40834705
Hmm maybe that's the reason why my legs aren't developing as well as the rest of my body.

Well front squat will in theory put more pressure on the knee, but if it doesn't, then keep doing them.
