Hi guys, i'm having a little prob with my squat progress. My college gym has no squat rack, only a smith machine. up till now i've been doing squats using dumbbells that were raised up to shoulder height. the heaviest dumbbell at the gym is only 20kg.

that said, if i wanted to squat heavier weights, i have to resort to using the smith machine. however, squatting using smith machine is no substitute for barbell squat or even dumbbell squats right? should i just suck it up and squat using smith machines or somehow squat using barbells without a squat rack? any suggestions? thanks all!

Got any pics of the gym?

I'm amazed how they can name any exercise. Steinborn lift.....pbth.
I'm naming a deadlift with a box of pizza as my face mask, as "Pizzaboy Lift"
