Re: Official Dids Gym Thread
Dids,
Agree that freeweights are best whenever possible. The reason, which another poster alluded to, is that they improve your balance and 'core' stability, and force you to integrate the way you use and develop your muscles. I started out as an all-machine guy but was converted to freeweights and it's def better. The other upside is you can get some weights to use at home if you can't get to the gym for some reason or want to do a light followup the next day.
Also agree that back/biceps, chest/triceps and legs/abs is a great breakdown for lifting, for the reasons above.
Great to hear you're having success and good luck. I should really make a thread like this and start going to the gym more often, I've been really bad since moving to the city.
