@cesare_shapable: Machines are not the “easy” version of proper training. For building muscle, they can sometimes be the better tool. A machine gives you more stability, which means you can focus on producing force through the target muscle instead of spending as much energy controlling the movement. That becomes especially useful when you want to train close to failure. A machine chest press can be easier to push hard without worrying about getting pinned under a barbell. A hack squat gives you more stability than a barbell squat. Cable lateral raises can keep tension on the delts through more of the movement. And for hamstrings, seated leg curls can be particularly effective because they train the muscle in a more lengthened position. Does that mean barbells and dumbbells are useless? Of course not. Free weights are excellent tools. The point is that your exercise selection should be based on the goal, not on what looks more impressive in the gym. If your goal is building muscle, choose exercises you can perform safely, progressively overload and take close enough to failure with good technique. Especially as you get older, intelligent training beats trying to prove how hardcore you are. Ready to get leaner, stronger & take control of your health?

Pull-ups over lat pulldown any day of the week. Even banded id choose pull-ups

Tomhollandass123 :

Depends on your goals. For old and athletic people, they've more movement over mass so the best choice for them is definitely free weights.
