This article says it all. I just thought I would post it since I see a lot of people mistakenly using them (I definitely used to!)

If you gym only has smith machine squat racks then do what I do: take an olympic bar from another part of the gym ( the bench press for instance, or a misc. one) and set in the smith machine rack. Use the side bars to increase safety. Then lift! You'll feel the difference.
