Are FREEMOTION equipments in GYM better than loose weights??


Question:
I've been working out and kind of debating myself to which is better.. Freemotion Cable equipments Vs Loose weights dumbells barbells etc.
Like for some body parts BICEPS, PECS, Triceps & Shoulders I find freemotion has it all.. so any difference between two??
I personally like Freemotion as its easy to manuevre & control.. Plus it uses same strength.

Answers:
Neither free weights nor machines are better than the other. In fact, most people who want to gain strength and endurance will use a combination of both. They both have their advantages. Free weights will exercise the main muscle groups as well as several smaller groups around the main one which are primarily used for stabilization. This will help to develop your overall physique. Machines, however, allow you to specifically target the main muscle groups and do more work with them with less fatigue. You should use a combination of exercises with both of them to develop the whole package.

Other Answers:
The good thing about free weights is they make you have to use your assisting muscles. You can isolate with cable machines. It's according to what you want. Most people go for size and looks instead of strength.
