I don't have a problem stabalizing the DB's during my presses.

Dumbbells build up your stabalizing muscles much better than machines do as I've tried all of it before.

Thats the problem

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Re-read my post thats my point

Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. Abraham Lincoln

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

Another combo advantage is it help thwart off adaptation. Something that even a little bit of in the long run helps tremendously

Well I'm sorry you feel that way. B/c most ppl here would agree that free weights including db's are far better than machines.

I'm telling you what works for me & many ppl here & for some reason you don't like it.


Ppl here including myself have said & feel that they find machines make you weaker if you do them to much compared to free weights.

That's the truth. Most of the big guys & pro's & powerlifters I've seen at my gym & on tv do not use machines very much if at all. I wonder why that is?

But if you like machines & they work for you that's great. I'm serious that's great. But for most of us, using machines too often will make you weaker.

Cool.

I have no problem with you or anyone one here. I just wanted you to know that.

This is just something I've come to find in my 10yrs of training. & that's the opinion of others here.

But for real, if it works for you that's great. Maybe you'd be even strong on top of the machines doing some free weights to.

I always say variation is one key to growth.

Take care dude.
