Your Question:
Should squats and overhead presses be done on a smith machine or a power rack?
Answer:
Either can be used effectively... it’s a matter of preference more than anything with the exception that more advanced body building and power lifting would warrant the use of the power rack system because of the non- restricted movement of the barbell throughout the range of motion.
For general strength and conditioning purposes either apparatus can be highly effective.
That's interesting, given that Big Vanilla Arnold does not have a power rack and refuses to purchase anything that would give the gym the appearance of anything remotely related to heavier weightlifting and bodybuilding.
