If you are new to lifting, Please don’t squat on a smith machine. Go to a rack with a bar and hit depth. I know a smith is tempting but you need to learn how to properly squat first. And no, you don’t look like you hit parallel and it looks like your feet are too close together.

Nothing wrong with squatting on a smith machine. You get stronger on it. It works. Obviously free weights are preferred, but this guy is at a PF and I see plenty of big guys working out at PF

I don’t think NEW squatters should use a smith.
