I'll throw my 2 cents in on this one. For my money and time, Free weights are the only way to go. I have been powerlifting since high school, and except for some lapses in time, when I ballooned to a pretty hefty weight, I have stayed after it. I started back in the gym about 15 months ago after a two year hiatus, or lazy spell, which ever, and while I had lost alot of strength, it has all come back. I am almost back to my personal records on bench and squat, and have blown my old PR away on deadlift. All the while losing close to 250 pounds of fat. Not a bad exchange. I have tried the SOLOFLEX, junk; Nautilus machines, not enough weight; and even worked out on a friends newly aquired BowFlex, way too expensive, and not even close to actual poundages that they claim.
