ITT rootbeer and i talk about going to the gym and lifting weights... <3

arent squat machines safer than normal squats?
i didnt focus enough on legs i was only doing around 220 lbs on the squat machine

she is talking about a smith machine:

there is also a leg press which is even safer still:

training with free weights is optimal, but yeah there is a chance of injury.. i tore both my hips from front squatting three days in a row with heavy weight
dont worry im sure u wont take legs training for granted once ur foot heals :)
