Title: Back workout...
Post by: SF1900 on December 27, 2019, 06:59:08 AM: I used all machines for back day. Pump was insane.

Overall, machines are far superior to free weights (unless Olympic lifter) for staying in good shape and for longevity.

To this day, I still get better pumps and next day soreness from doing chins instead of machine pull downs. I don't deadlift anymore but rather stick with hyperextensions to finish my workout.

i said versatile as in triceps, biceps, back. leg and abs work. can you do that with a chin up bar. but chin ups are a superior back exercise.dips chinups and pushup should be staples in every bodies routine.

W/ many machines, you spend the entire workout sitting on your ass. I do have some faves though, for sure...
