Machines Superior To Free Weights

Dumbbell Shoulders presses are always my staple... Every now and then I do Smith machine shoulder press

I think in some cases machines can have an advantage. Usually do db shoulder presses but today I switched it up and used some shoulder press machine I never used before. Fucken delts were burning like crazy.

I wonder if it's because with a machine you don't have to use the stabilizer muscles and you can just focus on the muscle your trying to hit allowing you to go heavier?

I would never give up free weights but in this case, the machine I used today burned my delts far more than db presses.

I recently brought machines in for my delts simply cuz I blew my C4-7 out doing over head presses with dumbells. "My warmup too[emoji35]"
I too noticed a major lactic acid build up from the machine. Far greater the barbell or dumbbell.

For many years I ran with Dennis Wolfs shoulder routines. They work great too. I'm slowly transitioning back to dumbbell work. I noticed marked improvement in strength gains using the machine tho.
