Only two leg workouts ago I switched to free weight squats (yes, I know...took a while...I was just paranoid that I'd throw out my back). Anyway, I was really shocked to find out that, not only was my form now perfect (I was never quite right on the Smith), but I'm lifting more, and feeling less fatigued after.
I found this strange because I've always thought (and found from my shift three months ago from machines to free weights) that you're generally not as strong on free weights as on machines. Might this be because the Smith Machine limits you're movement, and you can't adjust yourself naturally?
Sorry if I'm not supposed to use this forum for curiousities, but I'm just trying to learn as much as I can about weight lifting.
Thanks guys.
