Bodybuilding Question

[Jason]

I was told working out with machines wasn't a good workout. It was, in fact, a waste of time. I was advised to use dumbbells or free weights.

Using dumbbells and simple weights give you some natural experience of it. It is not that training with machines is wrong. With dumbbells, you can know when you are tired and need a rest faster.

 

[Heatman]

What do you mean by working out with machines? Most gym tools for working out are machines. So, they are basically saying you don't or shouldn't use them apart from the manual one's like dumbbells?

It depends on what your workout goals are. If you want to build your arm muscles, having to make use of dumbbells is a must.

Well, my friend was saying that machines don't allow you to use your natural weight as much. Anyway, I don't pay him much mind. I mean, you're still getting a workout, even if it's less of one.

Exactly! When it comes to working out, the machine helps you to do stuffs which your body can't do on their own. This is what makes them better.

Take a look at this leg workout by the rock. He can't get a better results without using those.

Damn! This kind of workout is too much for me. If I should ever try this, my leg is definitely going to end up breaking. The Rock is a beast.

I called The Rock the great Iron eater. This is because the way he works out, it very is insane.

Best stick to manual stuff and maybe do machines when your muscles are in great shape?

 

[Heatman]

I would say that knowing how to combine the both of them in order to get a perfect result is always going to be more beneficial than using more of one of them.

You can definitely get toned up using machines but it's definitely a lot more difficult to build large muscle, however, it probably can be done.

Yes, build large muscles isn't a day's job. You have to go at it consistently for a long period of time before you will start seeing the results.

 

[Heatman]

The machines makes it easier for you to work out successfully and more effectively. You don't have to put yourself through so much stress when there is a machine that can make it more effective for you to achieve your results.

This is why some people have to use gym classes and their instructors for working out. These instructors are professionals, they give the best drills on how to use those machines.

 

[Jason]

Everybody has their hangups, I guess. He wants to be hardcore and avoid machines. He might be right, though. You can do all those exercises with weights.

Yes, that's true. To each and their own of what works out for them. Our bodies are different. When you find out what works for you, stick to it.

I actually used to make use of their instructions when I used to go to the gym as a newbie but when I got better at working out on my own, I stopped using their services.

My favorite powerlifter is Anatoly if you haven't seen him yet your in for a treat.

 

[Jason]

I've gotten back into the gym in the last few days. I'm getting into dumbbells because they are the best way to work out, but of course, though, you can't get lift very heavy stuff, but it's heavy enough for beginner to intermediate lifters.

I like the movie Dodgeball. It makes fun of the fitness industry.

 

[fords8]

If I did work out, I wouldn't go to crazy with the weights. Maybe just tone up a bit.

 

[Jason]

The fitness industry is begging to be mocked. I'm surprised more movies like Dodgeball haven't been made.

I don't know how he does it, but I love watching him. Especially when he says "Fake weight sounds like plastic" He has hundreds of videos to watch.

Yeah, has also very funny too and the way he laughs and say sorry 😂. I enjoy watching his videos all the time.

Me too, my wife gets them in her Facebook reels on her news feed and we watch them every day. And you are right when he laughs and says sorry as he is carrying the heavy weight away is super funny.

He used to embarrass guys that are huge when he lifts the dead weight they are struggle to carry. They will be like, no it's too much for you and boom, they are in shock 🤯!!

I was seeing some posts yesterday on Facebook about it being his birthday. Did you see him make any of such posts on his pages you follow?

Nope, I don't see any post about that on his TikTok account. Maybe it's someone impersonating his account. He might be a scammer. So, be careful.

Thank you so much @Heatman for the update. I'll unfollow the fake page and be done with it. It's definitely going to be a scammer like you thought of.

Machines offer safety and guidance while dumbbells build balance and strength.

If your goal is to have movements controlled and safe, then machines are the way to go, however, they do not demand the same stabalizing effort as free weights.

Dumbbells take the lead when it pertains to building raw strength, but machines can also build strength too, however; once you max out the weight stack, you'll eventually hit a wall.

I'd recommend utilizing both and see what works out best for you. They are both great in their own ways if your goal is muscle building and toning up. I actually work out with both, machines, and free weights & I've seen pretty good results thus far from both.
