I don't think you understand me, anon.

I can't do squats because the only barbells are fixed on machines. As in no free weights.

Bodyweight squats
Goblet Squats

Fuck you could even improvise cable squats if you were that desperate

Squat in the smith machine or don't do squats. Did you really need to make a thread to figure this out?

>doing squats in the smith machine

Heard that was awful for your joints.

have a bro clean the weight, then place it on your back

DO NOT DO THIS

It locks you into an unnatural movement and does not allow your secondary and tertiary muscles to do the work they should do. Goblet squats are your best bet.

Ive seen smiths that can move freely back and forth as well as up and down.
Better form could be made, but still stabilisation is an issue.

Is this still terrible?

Also, maybe dumbbells, depending on your gyms range and your lifts

Goblet squats and Bulgarian lunges. I mean... They have dumbbells right?

get a skateboard, of course.

works 10/10 for me, squatting couldn't be more fun

2 options, clean the bar and place it in your back
or place it on a curl rack and start it from bottom position with a spot

Replace squats with dumbbell lunges. You'll always miss squats, but lunges are massively underrated IMO.
