cables V/S free weight

[dago]

Nothing beats old fashioned free weight but in certian areas cables are better. Take the preacher curl for example with free weight the stress on the muscle is only so far in your range of motion before gravity takes over as where with cables on preacher curls the stress is all the way through the whole range of motion. What are some exercises that are better with cables, any opinions?

I have no issue with free weights and cables. I interchange between them every couple weeks. When it comes to bicep curls you can play around with the position of your hand and target your bicep differently.

I believe i said standing Hammer Strength Curls. that's a machine one. Hammer curls are just free weights.
