Yes, that machine is only used by the super elite military spec ops, spy agencies and aliens.

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?!!?!?!!???!

Machines never pin you to the floor -

Free weights are far superior in the long run mixed in of course with a smattering of machines.

This is beginners stuff son!  :)

Broscience.

There is no difference between machines vs free weights for overall health and fitness, as I initially stated.

Is there any evidence that lifting free weights causes a reduction in heart attacks, strokes, alzheimers, diabetes, hypertensions, vs. machines?

As I said, for overall health and fitness, machines work perfectly fine and free weights are not needed to lead a healthy lifestyle and reduce the risk of a variety of diseases.

You can buy some free weights for cheap or just do calisthenics at home.  Spend a fraction of the money and you don't have to go to a gym and get the same results.

No, I do like to work out with machines, which I do not want to put in my place. Plus, I enjoy driving to the gym and getting out and things like that. I have zero intention of working out at home on a regular basis.

Though, at times, I do workout with resistant bands and some free weights at home, but its minimal.

I see, and what's your reasoning?

Only superior athletes need to use compound movements because they are competing at the elite level.

Most people will never get that far and will do fine working out on machines or with resistant bands or light kettle bells.

Last I heard, they were placing Basile's Bicep Supination Machine in the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan.

They will have round the clock security guards with AK-47's and the Machine will be placed in bullet proof glass.

I've worked almost exclusively with free weights since age 12 and have never had an injury like that.

Free weights are probably more effective. But for old men like me, machines are safer. I can say that I've never sustained an injury using either.

Using lighter weights would be equivalent to machines, no?

you make this sound like its about bodybuilding and actual weight lifting

surely machines vs free weights is just a metaphore

More effective for what?

If you want to stay fit and in shape, why do you need freeweights over machines?
