I totally agree with you. I'm sure a lot of people have also heard that it is good to switch up your workouts every so often as well.  Utilizing a 4 to 5 day training regimen and then dropping down to a 3 times a week, or even taking a week off, is definitely a good idea. I have employed a lot of different training routines across various days within the week in order to ensure my body gets the necessary rest, while also keeping the training fresh.

Thanks for the info. As always, it is definitely good stuff.

Subject: [Bodybuilding for Men] Machines vs. Free Weights

 
Most of us accept that we use both machines and free weights in our workouts, hopefully getting the best benefits from combining the two.  Also most of us work out for at least 4-5 times a week which we think will bring the best results.
However, some of us who have been working out for a while can remember Arthur Jones and the Nautilus machine and how he was set to revolutionize working out.  This was mostly in the seventies which was an exciting time of bodybuilding, when we were still looking in a mainstream way about what was and was not possible without performance enhancing drugs (there is still research in this area but it is not very high profile in mainstream bodybuilding) .
This is a great article  walking through the author's experience training with Jones and the great Casey Viator who had was one of the all time greats and who supposedly did workout briefly 3x a week on the Nautilus machines and was still in amazing shape.  Mike Mentzer eventually became another disciple of Jones.
It's all fascinating stuff.  More on on Jone here .
Also an idea for those of us who have gone stale with their usual routines.  Maybe trying one of these approaches will recharge you---or not.
Bodybuilding is part experimentation and what works for one person does not always work for all of us.
