Hey i know a lot of guys that absolutely hate the smith machine. The extreme hardcore lifters who despise it and say don't even touch it, they should take it out of the gym. I actually use it once in awhile though. I hope i don't get shit for this but. I try to go as deep as possible on my squats. I do them 3x week with a 5 x 5 program. Sometimes my legs are still sore as hell from the last workout. So i will use the smith machine to make sure i don't fall over or **** myself up ya know. If im not at the very least parrallel with my legs to the floor or lower i don't count it as a rep. Sometimes when i go lower than parrallel my balance gets jacked up and i start leaning backwards and almost fall over. Is using a smith machine for squats really gonna ruin my progress???
