Like most of us, when I first started working out, I went straight to the machines in a lot of cases. They seemed like the technologically advanced way to work out. Why use the abacus when you have a calculator, right?
Well as we learn more and more about fitness it is becoming increasingly obvious that the best fitness equipment is still the old fashioned weights. You just can't replicate the stabilization that is required to lift real weights. I noticed this even in my early days when I noticed that I could bench about 30 pounds more on the smith machine, than a standard bench.
So stick with the free weights and you will see better results.
