Personally I don't like the Smith Machine because it restricts movement. The regular bench press allows a fuller range of motion. At least I like how it feels.

Just last week I saw a group of teenagers... probably 4 or 5 of them, trying to squat using the Smith Machine. It seemed very restrictive to me. I was just at the adjacent squat rack, doing my own.

So what if ur gym doesn't have that squat free weight? You still want to do with Smith Machine?

Never faced this before... so I can't say for sure. I would probably not go to that gym. I'm a little picky. My gym has to have a squat rack.
