Is this even better: weight training or machine training?
Table of Contents
1. Strength training vs. machines muscle engagement
Weight lifting involves more muscles with each movement because the athlete has to stabilize the body. During exercise on the machine, the machine performs this work for the man. Weight training strengthens the deep muscles that are responsible for stabilizing the posture. The machines have an isolated character, shallow muscles are involved in the work.2. The functionality
Weight training has improved mobility coordination. It requires the ability to maintain balance. It more closely mimics everyday movements. It makes free weights allow for natural muscle formation. It's easier to lift a given weight on a machine than with a stick, so free weight training improves the technique.3. The strength
Machines can lift heavier weights than an athlete can squeeze with a stick. It may seem like the machines are better at exercising strength. It's just an illusion. Machines exclude the need to balance the body with a significant load. That's why in strength training the straps are still reliable and.. this is the equipment that is mandatory for professional athletes.4. Calorie burning
Weight-loss exercises involve the majority of muscle movements with each repetition, and they also require balance, both of which allow you to burn more calories than you do in a machine workout.5. It's security
In terms of safety, the relative advantage is gained by the machines. When exercising on specialized equipment, the risk of leaving the straps on itself is much lower, however, the machines are advanced equipment designed to isolate the muscles, which is not recommended for beginners. The machines do not require the athlete to pay as much attention to the technique as working with free weights, but long-term exercise in isolation can contribute to the disproportion between individual muscle groups.6. Technique
The machine usually determines the correct course of motion. It is therefore difficult to perform the exercise incorrectly technically. The machines often see instructions on how to train on them. During training on the machines is also unnecessary an assistant of a colleague. Working with free weights requires more knowledge, athletes who are interested in long-term development of strength should become familiar with the correct technique of working with a stick or a hammer.7. Hormonal economy
Studies have shown that the same exercise done on a machine and with free weights produces a different hormonal response. In one study, stick exercise contributed to the release of 17% more testosterone in the body than machine exercise. This hormone is very important in the context of building muscle tissue.8. Conditions of employment
The cause of injuries in both lightweight and machine training is improper exercise technique. Additional factors may be too much weight or uncontrolled (scraped), too fast movements.9. The availability
Both the machines and the straps are available in the basic equipment of most gyms. For people who would like to exercise at home, a much easier solution is to buy a strap than the machines. Firstly, it takes up less space, secondly it is much cheaper.
