Is it okay to do so?

Also, what if it's connected to a machine, like a smith machine or maxrack?

[off topic] I once heard a trainer suggest using less weight but doing the exercise on one foot.

Ah, as an alternative to increasing weight?

You use a lighter weight because it's hard to keep your balance while lifting. I was really surprised how big a difference it makes.
