And if you’re still not sold on training your entire body in one session, make sure to watch this video: https://youtu.be/QFPGIFp_VSw
As far as machines go, here’s what you must understand: our muscles respond to tension and as long as we’re adding a little more stress to a given muscle – whether with barbells, dumbbells, or machines – those muscles will be forced to adapt and grow.
While there are pros and cons to training with both free weights and machines, the fact remains: as long as you’re progressively doing more work over time, your body will respond by building new muscle tissue.
It’s also important to note that if you’ve been performing the same free weight exercises for the last several months, the training will develop a staleness.
And even if you’re overloading the muscle by getting stronger, the amount of muscle you’ll build relative to the work you’re doing will decrease. This is the result of becoming too efficient at a particular movement or exercise. In this case, switching from a free weight movement to a machine variation for a few months will help rebuild that adaptive proclivity.
So, now that we’ve established the validity of using machines as part of your training, let’s look at formulating a full-body workout using only machines.
