Unless one is a powerlifter/bodybuilder/Olympic Lifter/Superior Athlete, what is the point of using heavy free weight or compound movements, that will destroy your body in the end? If you're just training to stay in shape and healthy, machines will give you exactly what you need, while saving your joints and overall body.
There is zero rationale for using heavy free weights for overall fitness and health.
What you, getbig?!!?!?!!???!
