Machine Only Routine?

greenguy90 Posts: 3 Joined: 2009/11/04	2009/11/06, 06:20 PM I have been training with machines only, but can't tell if I have a good workout or not! Does anyone know where I can find a routine that uses only machines, that I can follow?

Some soreness is good, but if you cant walk the next day you went a little overboard! If you're not sore even in the slightest, then you need to add more weight or sets for each lift. Machines aren't bad per say, but you will never hit your true strength potential without mixing some free weights in.

You can choose either programs or both on freetrainers. -------------- Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. Ivan (GO HABS GO!)
