Get a proper cable machine and it'll be worth doing a couple isolation movement. That shit is useless.

Lat pulldown (pictured left) is great for lats, get more focus in addition to doing pull ups.

Wtf is that atrocity, a bench, a bar, plates and a mat are all you need

I would recommend a cable machine and free weights. They're not useless and when used as a part of a broader routine they can help you, but I wouldn't have them in a home gym

People get all bitchy and moaney about them because "muh olympic lifts", "muh starting strength", but they allow you to mix up your routine, isolate muscles which need work, and boost your CNS as a result, helping with gainz.

They're honestly great for certain things
Emphasis on certain
Train mostly or exclusively on them and you'll underdevelop your stabilisers and cns
Unfortunately /fit/ and the fitness internet at large is retarded and has decided that they are some kind of unforgivable heresy

Used for
>training around injuries
>extra volume after training compound lifts
>to add volume on lagging bodyparts days where compounds would clash

They find a niche and will help your gaines
Treat them as what they are - optional additions to a routine as opposed to foundational and you won't go far wrong

I like to use them for easy drop sets after compounds

The money would be better spent on a rack and rope climber or row machine.

They aren't as garbage as /fit/ likes to say but they're a swiss army knife when you really need a rolling pin.

Heck maybe even a rack

Squat rack and pull up bar are my next investments. We have an Olympic set coming but currently this is all I have.

The faggot on the poster looks like the kind of guy who cruises gyms to pick up guys

Cable flies, lat pulldowns, favepulls, and tricep pushdowns are all decent. But these are all just accessories to complement your workout that is based on heavy free weights. It should never be the focal point of your routine.
