Okay, okay. Yes, there are situations where using a smith machine would be a smart idea such as some rehabilitation applications involving partial ranges of motion, trying to overload specific ranges of motion, etc.

Squatting With A Smith Machine
Occasionally, people will ask me what I think about squatting in a smith machine. This video pretty much sums up my opinion on the matter.

Wow! That was pretty dumb.
I agree, and I might have to steal that video off you.
Every time I see someone on the Smith Machine I think that this will happen.
Thanks for checking in everyone. I just hope the kid wasn't really hurt.
LOL... the title reads "this guy is too strong for us mere mortals". How very ironic.
Smith machine squats (and other exercises) are pretty much useless. Although I use them for shrugs sometimes, as the ROM is very short.
