I use cable machines when I change my workout routine. I use them for gaining muscle. I like cable rows in place of dumbell rows. I find free weights produce more results than cable machines but you must change your routine every month so you have little choice but to use cables at some point.
Hope this helps ya.

hello
I use the bowflex and I have been getting alot of complements on my body lately. I think that if a machine is going to give you hard core resistance than you are bound to gain some muscle ( if your eating right.) I haven't used free weights in a long long time. I do agree with the last post though it's nice having an option free weights/ machine. I want to get into the YMCA and see if there is a big difference from free weights-bowflex. also if your not using free weights correctly than your going to risk hurting yourself. I haven't had that problem with injuries using the bowflex

i just read something in men's health. it says cables are a great way to work your muscles because they put the muscle under constant stress. i will reread the article to see what else they said.
