it just feels different sometimes using the machine, especially the one where both sides have separate weight (not sure whtehr its called hammer strength machines?)

Of course both sides have weight. Can't have a pen!s with one nutsack empty.

There's a reason why millions are invested as research. Machines work.

For a beginner, better to hit the machines, because it's not easy to get the correct form when you are just starting out. But then again it's practice that makes perfect...

Nowadays, I just see whatever is available. If the free weights area is crowded, then I go to the machines. Likewise if the machines are occupied.

No. For a beginner, both. More to free weights.

Sorry for the wrong bold. I'm trying to quote on '10 Reasons Why Squatting In The Smith Machine Sucks' from Mehdi by countering with quote from 6-times Mr.O about squatting using smith machine.

Mehdi is an idiot.

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.
