Solo Upper Body Bulk?

[TheS1tch]

Hey guys,

So I use machines atm because I don't have a work out partner to spot me on the bar bell, is that a good way to bulk up,
or should I switch to dumb bells?

You should read a book about working out imo

the answers you receive will be as varied as the people giving them.

i prefer the smith when benching
my kid prefers dumbells
others prefer the free bar

suggest going here and spending a few days reading...

Yes, you can use machines to bulk up. Yes, you should switch to free weights.

okay sounds good I'll just switch to dumb bells so if you drop them you won't crush yourself
