I believe Dorian did squat on a smith machine

.

You can find early shots of power rack squats too. He gradually dropped things out, if he found them painful. Squats annoyed one of his hips, so he added in other stuff. He Romanian deadlifted, but I don't think I ever saw conventional or sumo from him.

Any truth to the rumor that Heck is Josh in disguise?

So.... you're saying that he never had the makings of a varsity athlete..? 



(Twice this week I've used that - go figure)

  He practiced with the team but he was never good enough to wrestle a match.

He seemed afraid of back injuries from heavy deads. IIRC he did deads with just 200kg which is pathetic when you row almost the same. But what does it matter with the back he had! His pics still amazes, and he now says he would have trained even less when thinking back.

His hip was busted so he couldn't squat conventionally. In that pic you see how you get extra depth by stepping in front just a bit further, you can't do that with free weight.

Deadlifts and squats feel great for me and definitely aid in building a powerful looking physique but I do them for the enjoyment, the challenge and the mental/spiritual benefits first.

LOL you’re so spiritual and righteous.

There are a lot of folks who push for the smith machine pump style for training quads and such.

I avoid the machine since I literally separated my should using it for bench in 90s.

Some like Charles Poliquin said the smith machine was dangerous because it forced you into an unnatural movement pattern

Thanks.
