Excuse the ignorance, how do you guys do your squats then?
I agree smith machine is crap, just doesn't feel right when doing the excercise.
The sitting down squat machine (sorry don't know the technical names
) is o.k. but doesn't carry enough wait in my gym so I can do the entire stack quite comfortably.
Is there another machine you use? Assume that you don't put 200 odd kg on a bar hoist it over your head and start squating
Cheers

Looks like I'll have to put up with having the upper body of an adonis and the legs of pee wee herman

they threw away a great vertical leg press in my gym because not many people used it, they got a horizontal one instead with a weight stack
rather than the ones where you put plates on, what a piece of $*1t, we've got a few panatta machines like that where they don't seem to hit the muscle, have you collected you money yet Si?
