If my gym doesn't have the high frame for putting the barbells on to do squats, will using the smith machine be a suitable alternative? Or using dumbells on my shoulders for squats. I always have trouble with squats, thats my no. 1 priority for improvement this year.. I been blaming it on my bad back for not giving it a shot but no more excuses!

Dude... i got a broken back several years ago...

Compression wedge fracture in my T2 T3.....

Subsequently I can't high bar squat... Currently I aim very able to low bar squat... will wait and see how it goes as the weight goes up... Aiming for a 180kg squat by the end of year...

You tube rippetoe squat.... Explains a great deal on how to squat....

NOTE: that there are several techinques followed on here with respects to the squat... All depends on what suits you....

Good luck!!!

Also to answer your question....

NO... Dont use the smith machine!!! Go to another gym as per B20.....

The smith machine will ruin your squat form.... Actuall dont use the smith machine for anything apart from chinups....

Cheers....

Cheers
