Скачать или смотреть Which is BEST? (MACHINES vs CALISTHENICS vs FREE WEIGHTS)

Ah, the age-old question: which is the best for building muscle, free weights, calisthenics, or machines.



Well, they all have their drawbacks, but all have unique benefits as well.



Free Weight Pros: lots of variety, able to progress in small jumps, works your stabilizer muscles, more difficult (YES that is a pro!),

Free Weight Cons: Harder to learn, potentially dangerous sometimes


Machines Pros: Better isolation sometimes, more stability, safer (sometimes), make drop sets very easy, better for beginners, less intimidating,
Machine Cons: Easy to Max Out, Some are a Biomechanical Nightmare, doesn't work stabilizers, can develop muscle imbalances, expensive, takes up space


Calisthenic Pros: No need for a gym, minimal equipment or cost, very "functional", convenient, works the "core", improves balance, carries over to other lifts
Calisthenic Cons: Progressive overload can be hard, or at least hard to measure, less variety, lower body is hard to overload, the "core" can be the limiting factor, hard to isolate, hard to do low reps.


Ultimately, it's up to you. There are a lot of benefits to each, and there's no real reason not to combine forms of training. You don't have to do just one! You can and should do many! I do all three and odds are you should as well!


They complement each other well.
