Reply With QuoteWell, I use both depending on availability and although I do agree with you on balance, I don't see that much of a difference on the amount of stress on the quads.
The smith I use is on an angle so the ROM is more natural, maybe that makes the difference.
I agree that they are not exactly the same but to say they are not even in the same ball park or are totally different is just wrong IMO.

Absolutely NOT...and for your background info...I'm a Certified Personal Trainer and I WOULD NEVER TELL SOMEONE THAT.
There would only truth if the person was doing regular squats incorrectly BUT all things equal (in terms of having the correct form) they're not even in the same ball park....and I would argue this with your " trainer
" anytime
