Machines
Step aerobics

I personally think you need to incorporate all of these things to build a quality physique. Everything has it's application, although some machines should just be there for us to drop on people who fuck around in the gym.

If I had one choice then dumbells would be my choice because they are the most versatile.

favorite weights DEFINATELY dumbells!!!! They give you the freedom in each hand to do the full movement and also each body part must control the weight 100%

Dumbells

Definately dumbbells, followed by barbells and smith machine. I only use Hammer Strength or machine when I want to go to complete failure, or just to get a few extra sets in when I'm dead tired.

Free weight definetley for me, I would argue over the dumbell though, yes you get a better range of movement but, there is the argument over whats a rep and what isnt, if you are benching with the barbell then there is no doubt that when the bar touches your chest its a rep, with the dumbells where do you say you have done a rep. For me its as far down as I can go, yet my training partner brings the dumbells down to a point 3"inches higher and calls it a rep.
