I prefer free weight over machine as i believe it actually give more pressure to ur muscle, and also the ability to adjust a more proper posture for best output, however my current gym is packed with large number of ppl and the free weight zone is small, thanks to the club for inviting more and more ppl in and fail at counting.

I feel that the range of motion from machines are more suitable for men

Bad statement. Try again. If you post this at a forum belonging to Poliquin or T-nation you'll be pwned to high heaven. And a lot of female physique and fitness IFBB level competitors would disagree with you. My sis who is below 15% bf with abs who incorporates both will disagree with you.

Much better. Because machines are not just designed for men.

Ok. Lazy to multiple quote.

Yes it gets heated up around here and everyone try to take it in a positive light cos we all love DRAMA.

About Mehdi. His theories are flawed. With the amount of years he has been lifting on his so called optimal strength and compounds program, his poundages are pathetic and his forum his a marketing site.

Incorporate both free weights and machines. I'm in contact with IFBB pros, IFPA natural pros, Mr Asia Terry Gallyot is my long time friend and mentor. All have something in common. Use BOTH. Do not get sucked up into free weights only mentality. They don't spend millions of dollars into research for nothing.

So you help people with time management problems, you're strong enough to lift the whole cable machine.
