The Training Station - Free Weights Vs. Machines!

Should you use free weights or machines? Many people probably ask this very same question. I would like to offer my two cents worth and 25+ years of experience to answer this question.

I'm a big fan of free weights and tend to use machines sparingly so I agree with this article. The only machines I really use incluse incline leg press, lat pulldown and a cable machine for tricep press downs. Nothing beats free weights!

I think I've only made initial gains at best with machines. They keep you safe and take the guesswork out of a lift, but I got totally rocked when trying to shift to free weights. I have weaknesses that could be corrected with free weights. How awesome would it be to have even THAT much less of an excuse not to work out? The weights are in my bedroom. I'm practically staring at them.

I'm really glad that I read this article. I visited a gym nearby that wanted $40 of my money every month for a minimum of a year, and why pay that much for half-ass results?
