squat rack or machine?

[topgunner]

so the rec center at my school is almost always crazy busy and the squat racks are rarely open. because of this i have been using a squat machine. will the machine not give me the same result as the rack? how are the two different? also, if i use the rack, i wouldn't be able to use it in my circuit, and i would just do all my squats before my actual circuit.

They're not the same. But, it's better than nothing.

Machines can try and imitate the motion of a movement, but they can never replicate it.

Do Reg squats whenever you can.
