Lifting Exercises

do you guys think lifting with machines is bad?

I’m not sure that it is bad, it’s just not as good as using free weights. Also be careful. Paradoxically, using machines can cause more injuries than using free weights.

if you watch the powercleans from this site, http://www.bsu.edu/webapps/strengthlab/exercise.asp doesn’t he hit the ground with his feet really hard? I use to do that and pain would shoot through my shin bones.
