But for those of you who actually believe this guy, let me save you from making a huge mistake.
First off, weight machines restrict you to the fixed range of motion. This means you don't target all the parts of body that would otherwise be targeted by their freeweights. This includes the very important stabilizer muscles. Furthermore, machines pretty much always aid you in your lifting, so you're essentially doing as little as only 50% of the actual lifting at times. For the most part, machines only isolate specific parts of your body, and rarely if ever build any actual functional strength; in other words, all your doing is being able to lift more on than specific machine, not increasing your strength in general. Moreover, machines quite often lead to poor muscle balance and posture, which will actually lead to injuries and whatnot.
On the off-chance that you actually are NOT a troll and you seriously believe that machines are not total crap, then I seriously weep for you and humanity in general. I listed just a few legitimate reasons, I'm sure someone who's an expert could probably add to this.
