[quote=Anonymous]I began lifting for the first time a year ago and have made great progress using machines at my gym. People on this board are pretty down on machines because they isolate too much, but for me that’s the goal. I want to control variables to avoid injury or asymmetry due to overuse or poor technique. My trainer and PT both agreed that machines do a fine job targeting the right muscles and they are easy to measure progress. I try to balance pulling and pushing exercises that target all the major muscle groups, 3 sets of 8-10 reps as heavy as I can with good technique. My lifting workouts take 50-60 minutes 3/week.[/quote]
