Free weights - greater rom.
You're more vunerable to injury when using free weights though.

I use free weights as much as possible but I put in machines for variety.

What is a machine?
Oh you mean those shiny silver things the girls use.
Never touch them (the machines that is).

FREE WEIGHTS ALL THE WAY BABY!!!
I only use the machines for Calf raises and other leg workouts, and Military Presses..The Bench press machine is a waste of time,first it only goes up to 120kg(265lbs) which dont do anything for me when using it...Even tho i do 80kg on the free bench,the bench machine is utter pants! Little boys who THINK they're lifting heavy use it..I just laugh at them.Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer.

Machines isolate targeted muscles.Originally posted by joehagyHH

Free weights give you more range of motion. There is a difference.
Use both machines and free weights.I feel sorry for all those liars out there.

THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO... but your body cant say" joe is using machines today" or " joe is using dumbells today" thats the point i was trying to make......... and yes like i said, use both for maximal gains.

All the pro's say to alternate, but I have learnt not to trust them and their 6 days a week, 2 2 hour long workouts a day schedules.
