Part One
A crucial part of gaining muscle is having the equipment to do it. Granted you can do pushups and other exercises without and equipment, you just can’t work the entire body without the aid of a machine. Weight benches, power towers, squatting boxes…they can be complicated if you don’t know what your wanting to work and how much you want to spend.
Part 1-machines…
There are plenty of machine types ranging from specialty machines to entire home gyms but you will mainly encounter only three or four types.
Specialty machines are specially designed to do one single(sometimes two but usually no more) exercise but they dominate that 1,squatting racks for example are made for…well squatting and they do it well but if you wanted to work your Pecs for example a squatting rack wouldn’t do much good. These machines can use stacks or free weights.
Multipurpose machines usually consist of a bench with attachments such as a lat tower or leg curling attachment. They are made to do multiple exercises but since you get a gain in quantity you usually lose a bit of quality in these exercises. These machines can work a large group of muscles but it can still be a challenge to work the entire body on one of these machines. These machines usually use free weights or resistance bands but can use stacks.
Home gym systems are usually very bulky powerhouse machines but can integrate just about every exercise one can imagine. They usually consist of an octagon or hexagonal shape with the weights in the middle and each face having a machine of its own. These machines usually use stack weights and can sometimes use free weights

No matter what kind of machine you get you’ll need some sort of resistance. Resistance comes in many forms ranging from steel to big rubber bands. How to choose is up to you.
Free weights come in many materials and are very versatile as they aren’t anchored down and are easily adjustable weight wise. Some free weights are made of steel and come in many weight values ranging from three quarters of a pound to a hundred pounds or more but can cost a very pretty penny. Vinyl weights are very cheap and durable however they don’t come in very large sizes. Concrete weights are basically concrete with a plastic coating and are very cheap but the concrete tends to crack easily. Some free weights are even made from lead but these can be expensive and hard to find.
Resistance bands are basically big rubber bands that you have to use your strength to stretch. They usually don’t have a lot of adjustments and wear out over time but are the most versatile resistance you can have while in their prime and are usually moderate in price.
Weight stacks are a group of weights stacked on a pole and rigged to a pulley. These can be adjusted to lift more or less weight very quick by moving an elongated bolt up and down. These sorts of weights don’t really have a lot of room for movement so your excursuses are limited to whatever the pulley is rigged to and these can cost a decent bit of money but it’s hard to lose something like this but please note the pulleys can break.
