Good posts Kieren, I'm 100% concurrent with you! (though you obviously have more years into this!)

360 max bench at 200 lbs body weight? I'm guessing your about 5'9" to 5'10" in height right?

Just a smidgeon under 6 foot.

Yup, did everything but stick a needle in the leg or take pills. I ate and slept weights for a looooong time, then traded that obsession for running. Of the two, running still does me the most good, even if I am physically weaker. I found lifting makes me aggressive, and running settles me down.

Free weights don't injure joints, idiots who don't know how to lift and try to lift too much injure joints. Free weights are actually better in the long run because they also work the stabilizing muscles associated with each movement. If you have a pre-existing injury, then by all means, lift on a machine to rehab it. Afterwards, switch to free weights and practice proper form and controlled movement.

Is this your medical opinion?

In the long run, yeah.. they work out your stabilizing muscles. In the short term they can tear/severly damage tendons in the lesser used areas of your chest, shoulders and back. Because of the lack of developed stabilizing muscles, this imposes more pressure on your joints and more wear and tear.

Though I wouldn't say it so harshly, I agree with Raub. This is part of the reason a new lifter should never lift alone. In my opinion machine weights are for those that must lift alone or are in rehab; otherwise lift free weights and start light (and do it right!). Bad form causes injury, along with failing to recognize when form has fallen apart (from fatigue) and trying for additional reps.

The story of sports is knowing when to push and and when to back off.

Yup, I intentionally left the legs out of that workout routine, because I generally run. Squats really should only be done with a spot for many reasons, and at my age, the knees just don't like them anyway. When I am not running I will throw leg extensions and hamstring curls in, then jump on the bike three days a week. That handles the legs pretty well.

if you injure a joint, it won't spark up clean, and you may cave the back of yer head in tryin to get it to toke.

you should avoid joint injury.

Hehe Tahgut... I do believe the world record Bench press is right around 650 lbs (Congrats! ;) )

The avg. Linebacker in the NFL benches around 400-450 lbs (With LOTS of help from Androstine and Creatine ;) )

So, we're all just a puny lot compared to real athletes ;)
