dumbbell squats

[bohn]

Howdy,

I have been going to the gym for about 6 weeks about 4 times per week.

I am moving in to a new routine with squats and what not.. currently I have been doing dumbbell squats.

The gym has a smith machine (I have read some not so good things about doing squats with that).

How do dumbbell squats compare to squats (regular) and to squats (smith machine)?

Thanks.
