Because machines are an exact movement every time, your actually weakening the supporting muscles you usually use while running free weights. My injury is still haunting me....I am currently on prednisone. If you want to use machines, mix them with free weights!!!!!!!!!! Please take my advice or you will be crying like a pussy like I have been for the past 4 weeks.
