Plenty of plate load machines now , do a better job of working a body part.
You are forced to use the machine groove of motion which prevents awkward ,jerky lifting.
The plate loaded machines still have enough a genuine load to provide effective resistance.

it feels better because its easier to do and your lazy gene kicks in telling you not to go through the process of lifting up a barbell.

It works the shoulders more directly because that's what it's designed to do.

The old free weight versus machine debate lol.. I can tell ya after 3o years of doing his that some machines are superior .. There is something that fail in regards to free weights .. If you feel it in your deltas more than use it and push it hard..  I use quite a bit of machines.. If ya feel it better than it is better for you..

Because your muscles have little men in white coats and hard hats inside them, millions of them, making your muscles grow..and the leader has a little periscope that he looks out of. When he sees a machine , he gets on the bullhorn and screams "machine...don't grow!!!" and they all stop working...and that's why free weights are better.

whener I hear this debate I just laugh. Both machines and free weights have their place. There r a ton of fantastic mchines out there.  And show me one pro from arnold on who built a good pair of calves with free weights.
