Squats

[BadDep]

I have been doing my squats on a smith machine and I was just wondering if these were as effective as a regular squat. I also sometimes use a machine specifically for squats. Give me your opinion on this. Thanks.

I find regular squats ar emuch more effective. you need to stabilize yourself when you're using free-weights

Regular squats are much much better. Smith machine really restricts the movement. I only use the smith for short movements like bb shrugs.
