Question about a certain machine not sure what its called...

Its that machine where you do squats almost straight up like regular ones but put the weight on the side instead of holding a barbell and it leans on your shoulders with pads inbetween. Whats the difference between regular squats and using this?

The difference is that with the machine you don't need to stabilize the weight, it's basically a leverage system. You'll still get swole if you actually use it broseph.

Thanks man. So I could substitute squats with this?

Yep. It wont work as many muscles as free weight squats, but you'll still work the big muscles.
