I love bars and plates, but I’m an old dog who likes the old ways. I even perk my coffee on the stove top and shave with a double edge blade and shave soap. Use what you like best.

Jay is jacked!
I just use whatever is available. For me they both work.

Why is there an *_impalement_* device in front of you?

[gabrielgiorgio-dormon]

Depends on your goals tbh. From experience, using fixed path chest machines don’t work nearly as good as freeweights like dumbbells or barbells for horizontal pressing in activities like wrestling or pushing an unstable person off of you or even showing off to the ladies and moving them around like that 😂 same thing with overhead presses. Although you can get similar results with machines and freeweights for muscle growth, why wouldn’t you want the extra stability benefits offered by freeweights? I love machines and used to only use them for a while, now I use them more sparingly as icing on the cake just so I can get better used to using the body as a cohesive unit rather than always relying on trying to isolate.

My life experience says Free weights are better for functional activity ( SPORTS, etc) because you are less limited to an fixed area of movement….

[robertadams]

For training intensely, IMHO, machines are better than free weights.

He is using a faster speed with free weights than with machines. Why?

Jacked. I'm hoping my shoulders look like that in 6 months or so. Maybe not that big but that sculpted.

You should roast Mario Rios for all the made up BS he posts in regards to this about free weights for fUnCtIoNaLiTy in sports.

[aydinmashhood]

so this guy is mario rios but a bodybuilder instead of an athlete

[higher_highs]

Okay, machines are not worse. But are they better?

Dude lost when he said “whatever the hell that means” typical bodybuilder 😂
