In the nine months or so that I've been using freeweights, and the cable machines I've made huge advances. It was just a matter of getting your ego in check, then dropping the weights a bit. I now feel like a bit of an automaton when I'm strapped into a machine, feels rather unnatural compared to just lifting a bit of metal. Then there was the one time I mentioned having a play on the smith machine in my blog. Boy did I ever get a roasting. :) I’m a firm believer in this, and never go near the push machines any more.
