Free weights are the superior choice at the gym, says many people. Barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and such are much more natural and functional! Don’t waste your time sucking up to the machines!

But wait! Don’t use free weights, you’ll hurt yourself! Use machines instead, they are much safer and more efficient for building your muscles and strength! Says others*.

Free weights vs machines: the eternal debate amongst gym bros and sisters.

Today, we’re here to settle this debate.

What does the science say? Can we clearly say one option is better than the other, no matter if you’re training for strength, bodybuilding, sports, or just the health benefits of lifting heavy stuff?

We finish the episode with a handful of questions from our listeners. If you want to be able to ask us questions in the future, check out StrengthLog Community on Facebook.

After a four-week hiatus (i.e., sick leave), The Strength Log podcast is finally back!
