The Advantages of Machines [Infographic]

THE ADVANTAGES OF MACHINES Is it more effective to use strength training machines? SAFER Most machines are designed so that the weight would just fall on the weight stack (instead of on top of you!) The goal of strength training is to reach “muscle success". Training to “muscle success" leaves muscles with less control and fatigued for a few minutes afterward, as well as the possibility that the weights may fall on the trainee afterwards. BETTER CONCENTRATION A well-designed machine can eliminate sources of distraction, enabling deeper concentration and deeper level of fatigue in the the targeted muscles, which can facilitate a higher intensity level 2 A necessary factor in successful strength training is mentally pushing your muscles to that very deep level of “muscle success" fatigue. This takes focused mental concentration, and each person has a limited ability to concentrate in any given moment. RESISTANCE A machine has the potential to better harness the power of gravity when compared with free weights. 3 Biceps exercises with machines usually feature a rotating wheel called a “cam" that varies resistance and enables constant work for the muscle throughout the repetition, and this can result in a more thorough workout for the muscles. several additional advantages of machines This does not mean that dumbbells, barbells, and other free weights are not effective training tools. If a person trains intensely, he or she will achieve great results, regardless of the equipment. However. strength training machines help train safely and effectively, and that's what were all about.
