Yes, but which weighs more....400 Lbs. of steel free weights, or 400 Lbs of stack weights?

Free weights or stack weights weigh the same. It depends on the universal machine you're working on. 400lbs is 400lbs.

With free weights you get the advantage of having to balance the weights. It's more dangerous but some guys like me feel you get something out of it. On a universal the advantage is you use the muscles intended, a bench press hits the pecs and no cheating.

Some universal gyms have a gradient on lifting. However you do max out at the weight intended difference again being you use the muscles intended.

I feel it's good to use both free and stack. That way you get the best of both worlds.

It was a joke.....you know, a little take on the "Pound of feathers, or a pound of lead" joke?

I'd like to but don't think so. Too many weirdos out here in internet land. Besides, I have enough doe-eyed women suddenly following me all over.

HAHAAH Ok man, whatever.

oh and the answer to the stack or free weights ..... is that by doing free weights you also use what are called stabalizer muscles for the balancing of the weight.

The total weight is the same but a system devised with pullys and leverage instead of dead weight pure balance is far from the same workout for the body.

(but you already knew that I suppose)

Look I am not being critical, I am just leary about someone claiming to bench 400lbs and then not willing to show it is all.

congratulations on your hard work and keep it up no matter what the REAL weight you are lifting is

I mean believe me if I was pushing 400lbs you all would be seeing it daily in my sig LOL

But to each his own I guess.

your own results is all that really matters to you anyway so no need to show me or anyone else as long as you believe it is true who cares what anyone of us think.
