Leg extension and hamstring curls after.
Shoulder workout was military press, front raise, and upright row.
Any debate on whether or not the use of the foam padding is detrimental to the building of your traps? Had a guy last night ask me why I used the foam. My answer was "I don't know, I thought you had to"

They have foam pads at your gym? Do any actual men train there?
Seriously though, I think the only thing it does is prevent the formation of calluses at your normal bar placement spot. If the bar spot is causing you pain, move the bar. I go with a low bar squat, more comfortable and lets me lift more weight.
I love watching the people who put the pad on the smith machine bar, load up with 10s on each side, and start to squat. It tickles me almost as much as the guy I saw a few weeks ago using his straps to do bicep curls...
