[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]your muscles have no idea what method you are using. weight is weight machines are safer and offer more options. Some will say your entire body gets a workout from using free weights because you have to maintain balance etc but the idea is to get stronger so [b]why not use the most efficient way? [/b] You get stronger by reaching muscle failure not by doing the same weight and same reps all the time, you need to increase weight and reps. The key is safety to avoid injury and proper form. [/quote] I think it's more efficient to use more muscles. I engage my core more when I use a dumbbell. If I stand when I do bicep curls, I engage my legs, rather than a machine where I sit. Isn't that more efficient? [/quote]
