Dear god of hormones,
Let's say you get a set of twins in the gym. They're 18, with identical genes, nutrition, and work ethic. You set them loose for 2 years.
Twin A is stuck in the freeweight section, where he can only use movements like Bench, military press, squat, deadlifts, rows, and dumbbell movements. He can use no machines.
Twin B is limited only to machines and cables, but just like his bro, he can use unlimited weights with it.
In 2 years, which guy carries more muscle?
free weight guy will have more density to the muscle,,more muscle will be a dependent of their respond to training and metabolzm
the fella that lift free weight will most likley look more impressive to the eye
