good machines, i like the feeling....
when u train alone there´s also no great risk to get injured, even when u go real heavy....
but "in real life" dumbells and Barbells produce more lasting results.....
example: when i train with the HS incline press for a while i get a bit stronger in this exercise, but my strength on free weights pressing
decline a bit the same time.
When i get stronger on dumbells and barbell presses my HS-strength also go up.
HS-Equipment is good when training alone, or with an minor injury, cause u can use most machines unilateral.
