How to compare Smith machine weights

[cvhrole4]

I'm able to bench way more weight on a Smith machine in the same thing with leg workouts

someone told me that I should not even care how much I can do on there and that free weights is much better indicator. do you agree with this generally or is there something else that I should be focusing on

i like smith machines, more control and easier to do personally
i dont do a lot of free weights mostly machines to avoid injury

As long as you workout hard, makes no difference

smith machine uses momentum and you are on a straight line. it is something that is dangerous and counter productive on the joints

Not a huge fan of smith machines but I do like variety. Work them in every now and then but do not make them your go to machine.
