Barbells/Dumb bells only workout?

[Nogbad the bad]

Personally,i don't think any equipment is a waste of time.It's down to the user and how much he/she is motivated.You can build muscle
with buckets of sand,old car tyres,anything really,that needs effort to move it around.
You mention training for 2 years at home,but nothing about results or progression.If you're improving,i can't see why you need to alter
what you're doing,but if you're doubting your present regime,it might be better to give the gym a try.
I used to prefer training alone at home,but began struggling to get motivated.Went to a gym and it's made a helluva difference.Loads of
different equipment,air conned,others training hard around you,and funnily enough,good background music which seems to lift me while
i'm slogging away.Don't think i'd go back to training at home/on my own again.

I just thought machines would make a difference read on my sources dumb bells and barbells are much better because it you're not limited to movement. For example, using the Smith Machine for squats which is very bad because you have to go in the same motion as the machine.

I'm different, I'm self motivated so I don't need to see others work out. And actually because it's in my home I'm more inclined to work out then having to travel somewhere to do it. Especially after work where I have a short window to work out and eat before I go to bed. Don't have to wait for people to get off machines etc.
