Free weights are always superior to machines.
Is that so? You must a bodybuilding genius
Anyway, I think machines definitely have their place and are sometimes better than free weights, such as the example I mentioned above
Also, I think the Flex chest press at gold's is superior to the flat bb bench or db press. I think this because I have made significant improvements using it, but was at a road block beforehand. i still rely on incline db presses as the core of my chest routine, but I really believe machines can be very beneficial
