free weights activate more muscles, machines isolate

some machines are alright and needed for more workout programs, but free weights mog when it comes to a machine to do curls vs free weights as an example

Free weights activate more muscles than machines and therefore are better for building muscle in the long-run, personally i use machines for accessory excersises

Free weights require technique and stabilisation and thus work the core but machines are fine for pure isolation (goal physique above)

In most cases, machines are okay to use. However, free weights mog since you're near-guaranteed to put your body through natural movements, meaning that muscles which are supposed to work together, will work together.

Taking the example of the hamstring curl machine, your hamstring is curling the weight entirely (it shouldn't, it should ideally work with the much stronger gluteal muscles), which can lead to compensation using the low back, and muscles imbalances. Free weight movements, like the squat or deadlift for example, are better.

You use multiple muscles and your Whole body to stabilize the weight And your Body rather than an isolated muscle on machine
