Machines Versus Free Weights

While some machines are beneficial, especially when rehabbing an injury, they are more like a crutch.

The more your use them the more you depend on them. 

 Let's face it, a machine does some of the work for you.  Is that not the opposite of the reason you come to the gym?  I believe that the word "work" is in workout.  So to make your body into an unstoppable machine, you must try to stay away from the machines.  You will find that your body will respond with quicker gains.

Your joints and skeletal structure will receive a greater workload and stress resulting in a better "frame" for muscle growth.  And remember if you want to lose weight, a quick way is to add muscle.  It takes more energy to operate a muscle cell than a fat cell.

So start today and change your routine.
