Machines can be better for targeting specific muscles and isolation
Machines allow for better isolation of specific muscles and targeting certain areas of the body. They provide stability and support that helps focus the work on a particular muscle group without involving other muscles. For example, a chest press machine can isolate the chest muscles more effectively than using free weights. Machines also allow for adjustable resistance curves, providing variations in strength curves that target muscles differently throughout the range of motion.
