Here is an interview of Dorian Yates about the Smith machine Squats!

T: Do you ever use Smith machines and do you have any strong opinions about that piece of equipment?

Dorian: Yeah, I used them for pressing movements, like incline press and shoulder press. I used it for squats, as well. I was brought up in the era of Tom Platz and he always said, "You've gotta squat; squats are the greatest thing for your thighs." Obviously it was true for Tom Platz. He had a good structure so that when he was squatting, the majority of the stress was taken by his quadriceps; his structure was quite short. So I was religiously squatting for the first five or six years that I was training. My legs were okay but they weren't great, until I began experimenting.

Then, squatting on a Smith machine, I could position my body so it was much more isolated on the quads, less glutes and lower back involvement, didn't have to worry about the balance aspect. Actually my legs improved a lot when I was doing Smith squats, hack squats, leg presses — I could isolate the thighs a lot more. So actually I used the Smith machine quite a bit for squatting.

  • maybe its just me, and i know you are obviously a professional and have been doing this longer than me, but aren't your feet and knees supposed to be shoulder width apart?

  • Dude also you got to work on your upper chest trust me on that

  • lol smith squat. GAAAAY

  • That squat is impossible to do without a machine

  • Listen, i am no complainer, but what you are saying and doing is downright wrong and dangerous. Doing squats in a smith machine with a straight spine in this position, can cause you serious injuries. It is a well know fact by now!. But maybe you have a reason for it?

  • All those Guys with the negative comments are the biggest Idiots themselfes.

  • @zOzzYz That is genetics man. He can't fill it up.

  • Why are you using a smith machine? I have read lots about Smith machines and generally it is better to use free weights and a squat rack to allow your body to work more stability muscles and to move in a more natural motion.

  • @Kkuk84 this one is still superior because you use some core muscles as well that you don't use in a leg press...still like the legpress though

  • @Metal0Boy look at his body fat percentage...he is muscle only (and probably not to tall either)...therefore 70kg is a good weight.

  • @luimarco why do you have your feet so close to eachother? I usually stand wider, but I'm sure you have your reasons (and obviously it works).

  • You only weight 70kg? Why not like 80kg, you would look really good. Or you just wana stay 70kg?
