    102% of my body weight (125#s) using the squat rack.
    I don't think I've ever seen a Smith Machine in any of my pansy gyms

    I squat 110 on the Smith Machine (including 20lb bar). I'm looking into other gyms though b/c I feel like I'm missing out by being confined to my Smith Machine.

    Squat 130 lbs 10x10 ...squat rack.

    This seems to be the opposite of most peoples' experience but I found it much much easier to squat in the rack than on the Smith machine. Once I started using free weights my max started jumping up every week. Something about the angle of the Smith machine seriously disagrees with my body.

    Never tried the Smith, but I also find it harder to squat properly with less than about 2/3rds my body weight. The higher weight changes my center of gravity so I can actually drop all the way down without tipping over.
