Machines Superior To Free Weights

[TR3N]

Standing OHP, seated lateral raises, facepulls and rear DB flyes are enough to build Big n strong delts.

I would think there would be less injuries with machines than free weights..

I think Lui said that in oxygen gym you have a whole 2md floor that's is strictly for triceps...

I have too bounce between gyms once a week because of limited hammer strengths...

What's that one machine you wrap a belt around you and squat.. that shit looks nice

Yea I saw flex doing that belt squat thing. Never seen that before.

I wonder though with these newer machines if that's still the case. Oxygen where the monsters are is known for having like thousands of state of the art machines. They obviously got free weights but I wonder if shit is changing with modern machines.

Let's face it... freeweights for the growth... Machines for the pump... Machines let you bang a few more reps w/out a spotter

Used machines only today due to the hand issue I have been having. Did chest...I'm feeling it. All hammersmith machines. Actually got a pretty good workout of it.

the use of the inward palm grip (as long as it is less wide than the other grip) is to target the anterior deltoid more. that is if the movement is being done correctly. many times i see people in the gym using this grip on the machine but ego lift and use too much weight and end up flaring their elbows out which defeats the purpose of the workout.

I dunno but I felt my whole damn delt burning like a bitch so it was doing something different compared to standard db shoulder press.

yea i may incorporate them more if the other machines feel as good as this delt press machine did today. forget what it was called, ill look tomorrow. one thing that was different about it was palms facing in grips. not sure if that changes anything but man it burnt the shit outta my delts.

I think that the old saying "you can't beat free weights " is outdated.

Machines have now been so far improved.

Machines are designed on working specific muscles and I believe because of the limited range of motion works that specific muscle or group harder. Free weights you use more..Support.,.Of other muscles to do the exercise. So you work the target...But also muscles that support it. I like using machines after I do free weights to finalize the pump by doing fast high rep sets. gets the pump and burn crazy for me

bori i hate the smith machine for everything. it locks you into this weird motion ive just never felt like it was right for me. not for legs or upper body.

If my shoulders are acting up then its on smith machine...I wish we had more hammer strenght..Especially for shoulders.. gay ass gym

Machines isolate more and better for sculpting
