tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | Only ever done it in hotel gyms when I've had no choice. | ||

 he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Not if there is a squat rack you can use instead, unless you are planning to do a comp with a fixed machine squat in it | ||

 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | I think it's better than not squatting at all but wouldn't recommend it if you have access to a squat/power rack | ||

 cardio walrus Member 1910, 909 posts SQ 220, BP 160, DL 260640.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | prefer ssqautting in a rack, but it's better than kick in the arse | ||

 no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Born-again lifters often say that you'll get injured using the Smith machine or leg press. Is there any actual evidence of this? Are there ways to mitigate any ill effects of S-m squatting (fixed bar path and whatnot)? I don't think I've ever used one myself, tbh. | ||

 Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Probably good to train for a machine squat in a comp as Davy said. I used one years ago when my knee was dodgy. By putting my feet out in front it avoided the pain. Otherwise, no. | ||
