Hi so I was just curious if I could get a good strength training workout without the machines like where you push with your legs or the machine where you pull the bar down and it pulls the weights up, I want to know if I can get a good daily workout with just my dumbbells and my bench, Detailed answers are greatly appreciated, any links to websites maybe? In advance I greatly appreciate helpful answers, thank you!
Yes. I always prefer free weights to machines. That's not to say machines can be of benefit though... The machine where you 'pull down' isn't necessary. As an alternative, you could just do weighted chin-ups. The leg press machine is also replaceable with squats, lunges, etc. Machine exercises can be useful, but you can get by without them. *I'd highly recommend investing in a weight rack. It'll help with squats, shoulder presses, and other things.
