    EH.....I agree to a point.

    You shall not use the smith machine - Unless your goal is body building/figure athlete, and you have already PERFECTED your squat form*.



    *if you are reading this your squat form is not perfect

    I use the smith machine for the squat rack built in. If it wasn't for the machine I wouldn't be able to do my squats.

    Bah! You people are all up in arms about nothing. The Smith Machine is great for doing shoulder shrugs.

    Squatting in the smith machine is a worse case scenario.
