Free weights are great, but machines have their place too – especially for newbies. Learn how to make the machines your friends in the gym.

Machines have their place in bodybuilding, especially the likes of the specially made custom pieces at the original Gold's Venice. They can help with muscle isolation, cutting back when recovering from injuries and easing up the stress on joints. But, as Bill and others have pointed out, the basics of success still reside with barbells, dumbbells and the core lifts. Also, these guys AND your gym respectfully remind you to rerack your weights.
