Why does it matter if he uses a smith machine?. He also uses a hack squat machine, i dont see the difference?.

Smith machine = bad for joints.
Plus it is kinda lame. Hey watch me squat 350lb that has been counterbalanced and doesn't require any balance and coordination on my part
Real squats are hard, it is the reason why they are the king of exercises.

you guys fail to realize that lifting heavier than someone may not necessary guarantee size. I knew guys who played bball in college that could squat 4plates for reps and had horrible leg development. Trust me, Jay has gone extremely heavy before and many who claim they're so badass should try and train with him sometime because they'd lose their lunch. I guess we have to admit that some people are just more genetically gifted than others.
I think that is a matter of opinion and personal preference, as I've had success with both. However, I've been using the smith more recently and it hasn't hurt my back and knees as much as free squats have.
so true. also for some of you to lose respect for jay because he doesn't go heavy, or you think he doesn't train hard is crazy and ignorant. he's mr.O who are you to critique him?

What a LAME vid
New wheels, cmon Jay stop it please!
Cmon Phil stop defending Jay !
