obviously free weight squats, smith machine squats would be useless for somebody your size and experience.

freeweights are always better if you know what you are doing

I like the feel of free squats... I'm thinking of trying smith machines, but probably never will. I wouldn't be able to hit my original free squat numbers if I did it on the smith machine for a while.

Free barbell squat is a lot better than the smith machine.

What do you think? Do you really have to ask this, the Smith is a resistance Machine. Where as standard BB Squats are free therefore you use, everything, your core stablizers etc. Plus on a smith it is an unatural movement, as you are going straight up and down, the body can't go that way, there will always be bar travel which is infact benificial to the lift.
