Strength training with free weights is more effective than machines
oldtimer1:
Pick stuff up and put it down. It's not rocket science. The more I read about exercise physiology the less I know. One thing for sure. In the words of Jeff Preston, "Until pigs know how to fly you don't need to be a scientist to be a bodybuilder." No need to google for answers from questionable and conflicting sources.
There is just no way that sitting in machines will build athletic attributes. I couldn't imagine sitting in machines for all my exercises. Bill Starr was right. If you want to build a better athlete using weights to supplement you could do it with three exercises. It would be an Olympic lift like a power clean, squat and a press.

I also prefer free weights, but it depends on each day of the week, and in what mood do I have. Anyway, before making any basic training, I do prefer to use Chirp wheel, because it can help with adjusting my spinal muscles and stretch them up. I also use it for my sides as well.

Rest is even better.

aside from a bit of balance, i believe resistance is resistance and machines can offer a bit more safety for those prone to injury...but i agree people need more rest not more training, especially if not juicing...
