There is a smith machine in my gym. Is it bad that I use it to do sqautz?

Better than no squats, not as good as free standing squatz.

Also, stop trolling.

It sounds like you don't do squats, so yeah, to get your form right, use the smith machine for awhile.

Why is it better to do free standing sqautz? Do more muscles get worked?

Sorry i thought you were trolling to get a reaction, people doing squats and benchpress on a smith machine usually get a beating around here.

And yes basically more muscles get worked because you have to stabalise the movement yourself instead of relying on the machine to do it for you, so it strengthens 'core' muscles as well (whatever that means).
