    Better as in if you could choose what would u do. I mean by better what is more efficient in building mass I know u can build with machines but with machine ur not using the core.

    Depends what you are aiming for. Both should be used, in my opinion. The Smith machine will allow you to work on some more explosive movement, which will work those fast twitch fibers but if your core is strong you can do that without it too.
