Weight Machines

What Are Weight Machines?

Weight machines are devices used for strength training, fitness and resistance exercise. They typically use a system of pulleys, cables, and weight plates to provide resistance as the user performs exercises.  The resistance can be adjusted by adding or removing weight plates, allowing users to increase or decrease the challenge of the exercise.

There are many different types of weight machines, each designed to target specific muscle groups and provide an intense workout.  Some popular weight machines include the bench press, leg extension machine, chest press machine, and leg press machine.

  • Bench Press:  The bench press is a classic weight machine that targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps.
  • Weight Bench:  A weight bench is a versatile piece of gym equipment used for a variety of exercises, including the incline bench press, shoulder press machine, and tricep press machine.  Olympic weight benches and weight bench sets are perfect for those looking to do a full-body workout at home.
  • Leg Extension/Leg Curl Machines:  The leg extension machine and leg curl machine are popular unique weight machines that target the lower body muscles. They are often used in combination with the leg press machine, which is designed to target the hamstrings, glutes, and quads.
  • Selectorized Machines:  These weight machines use a stack of weight plates that the user can select and adjust to their desired weight level.
  • Plate-Loaded Machines:  These machines require the gym user to manually load weight plates onto the machine, providing greater flexibility in the amount of weight used.
  • Cable Machines:  These machines use a sophisticated system of pulleys and cables to provide resistance, allowing for a wider range of motion and exercise variety.
