Take a smith mahcine for example
Fucking horrible machine that should be banned -- shoulder presses on a smith machine force you to go up and down-- your body nautually with free weight does not go up and down with a shoulder press it actually follows a curve!, same with bench pressing or squatting.
When you get to an advanced stage and have a lot of weight on there you WILL be damaging your joints by using machines

Also free weights force you to develop all your stabailising muscles which in a realy world situation is what you need to use this strength.


machines = gay
