which machine for dl's?QUOTE]

I would use the "barbell" machine.

It's a piece of steel approximately 7 feet long with an area designed for "gripping". They've made sure it will be comfortable for your hands by NOT including some sweat soaking neoprene covering so commonly found on other machines.

The "barbell" is usually found on the "floor" or if you are lucky, on the lifting platform. Sometimes you may have to look for it on the display "rack" - where it can be placed at different heights for your viewing pleasure. Just look for some 130lb fukwit doing curls and he'll probably be in the "rack".

One great feature of the "barbell" is that the "selectorized weight stack" comes apart from the bar and can therefore be left scattered across the gym "floor".

The beautiful tracking motion of the "barbell" is facilitated by cams and cables also known as you "knees" and "tendons". The body is relaxingly supported by your "spine" and "core muscles" - a system rarely used by other machines.

Caution should be exercised whist using the "barbel machine". Common problems not normally associated with machine use include:

1 - Actual increased muscle mass in such problem areas as the traps, thighs, errectors (and the rest of the damn body!)

2 - Increased joint fuction and health

3 - Rapid increases in FUNCTIONAL strength

4 - Ability to actually grip something
