10 great tips.

The only thing I sort of disagree with in the article is this...
For maximum muscle gain, the focus of your workouts should consist of free weight exercises. Not machines or bodyweight exercises. This is not to say that you shoud not use machines or bodyweight exercises, but they should not be the focus of your training. To get an effective, muscle blasting workout, you must stimulate the most muscle fibers as possible, and machines do not do this.

Machines help you keep better form. A lot of people who do free weights don't have good form and therefore don't show much gain. As long as you go heavy I think machines can "stimulate muscle fibers" just fine. My gym has more machines than you can even imagine.

Nope. You stimulate more muscle fibers using free weights because you are balancing the weight which therefore stimulates muscle fibers. Your wrong.

im surprised you havent got hammered yet.. Learn good form w/ free weights so you dont have to use machines

well thanks you all for the opinions, in my case, i do my workout with free w, maybe just one exercise with machine in legs, back, the rest of the muscle i try to workout with free w.
thanks people.

All the muscle building basics are free-weight exercises - squats, bench presses, barbell curls, barbell rows, deadlifts, close grip benches. Build the foundation of size with free-weights.

Good day.

If you have been training hard for a long time with OUT a break.

Then yes, 1 week off doing nothing will help for sure.

Anthony Ellis is 100% correct, and you my friend are 100% incorrect.

well i do my workout 4 times/week, i try to doit hard, with good weight, most of the time i finished tired, with alot of hungry .
yes i have been training, i dont remember when was the last time that i took 1week of rest.
thanks people

Your workout's not the same thing 4 times a week is it?

yes , its not the same , sometimes i repeat the chest, or back .
it depent on how my muscle fell.

of course a 2 day rest betwen each workout.

I think people that use free weights exclusively and refuse to use machines are doing it more for their ego than anything else. You might look tougher standing in front of the mirror doing free weights, but I go by actual results not people's perception.

when it comes to these arguements, the proof is in the puddin. put your pictures up, tell us what you did, and if we want to look something like you we might try it. i use mostly free weights. check my pics. next?

How do you workout 4x a week if you take 2 days off between workouts ?

it´s a example not always work out the big muscles two times per week.

but in this week i have make a analizing in my self.
i think that the problem of my muscle develop its the diet.
i eat bad low protein.

Diet.
