I've been lifting for 2 years but lately I've only been doing machine exercises.
The reason being that I only care about AESTHETICS BRAH and don't give a fuck about functiional strenght and skwats and diddlyifts and all that bullshit
So what should I do? Should I continue doing machine workouts or start free weights again?
I only really care about aesthetics, but I do all the compounds and then a lot of isolation/machine work. There is definitely a lot to be gained from compounds even strictly from an aesthetic stand point.

like what?
all those connecting stabilizing muscles are so small, you can't see them in photos and not really in real life either

i would unironically fuck the shit out of her

who wouldn't

Have you made gains? Are you still making gains? What is your goal? Have you injured yourself using a machine?
Honestly, that you waste less time isolating and get injured less is reason enough for me. Leg press machines are murder on your knees and in the two years using them I didn't even make the same gains as the first six months of squats.

no injuries yet, and I've only been doing this for a couple weeks so I'm still making linear gains
>>39922482
Do a push pull legs routine

with machines?
>>39923971
Incorporate them but focus on building strength on the compound lifts primarily
Look up Metallicadpa's linear progression PPL
>>39924022
but doesn't a machine routine give the same aesthetic results?
>>39923561
do machines only for until you stop getting noticeable doms and then go and do bench press, you will get crazy doms. Definitely a noticeable difference between compounds and machine only.
you usually "activate" more muscles doing compound lifts, which has an overall positive effect on your gains and aesthetic and shit.
le diddlys helps with abs, squats = nice legs, bench = impress other guys with ur pr
so I'm kind of undecided right now
On the one hand I wanna just do machines
On the other hand I kinda feel like doing a proper PPL with free weights
what do brehs?

>taking in a bunch of products as inputs
>adding them all towards one output gain
>entropy
Do you mean anabolism?
>>39924884
no, entropy is unpredictability, you never know how much fatter this bitch will be the next time you see her

Can I got aesthetic with a 3x week full body workout?
