Bodybuilding with machines questions

[NX5.0]

Hey everyone I'm new here.I'm 18yrs old and started working out at a gym when I was 15 and then stopped at 17 due to school and work.
I am a hardgainer and only weigh 135lbs and I'm 6ft.
A year has passed and I have more time on my hands and want to begin weighlifting again to build more muscle and gain weight!

There is one problem though. Before, I was going to a big gym and worked every body muscle all the way down to forearms and calfs.I used a variety of excercises including free weights,machines and cables.
Now I live in a community and they have a small gym in the community clubhouse. Right now I need to conserve money so I want to use this gym for free. The only thing is it's all machines.
-a chest press machine
-butterfly machine
-lat pull down
-seated Rows
-leg extension machine
-leg curl machine
-bicep curl
-tricep press
-a small rack of dumbells weight from 5-25lbs

So that is what I will be working with. I was being told that I won't see good
results with strength increases and weigh gain because of lack of free weights and my supporting smaller muscles will be weak copared to someone who uses free weights.

With the following machines will that be enough for me to increase strength and build lean muscle mass?

What are your thoughts?

Use what you have....what else can you do. Write up some workout ideas and post them...we will give you feedback to help.

not only will you not build strength of your stabalizing muscles you will increase the risk of overuse injuries and altered biomechincs because of pattern overload which occurs from using machines all the time since the body moves in a series of arcs and not straight lines, and, the body never produces the same arc twice.

Maybe I should just wait a while then until I can afford to start going to a real gym.

you ever hear about a couple of bodybuilders named Mentzer?


use what you have. if you train hard enough and allow enough rest inbetween your workouts for recovery you will make some good gains.Set your goals for using the stacks on all the machines for reps,

another side note always do your reps in perfect form never cheat to handle heavier weight.

Honestly, I would do some higher resistance body weight stuff over that crap. Body squats, unilateral body squats, pushups, unilateral pushups, handstand pushups, pullups, body rows, situps, superman pushups, supermen, etc.
