How do weight plates differ from a weight stack?
Free weight plates are traditionally used with weightlifting bars on traditional weight benches. They usually come in plate sizes from 5lbs to 50lbs, even up to 100lbs. A weight stack, however, is comprised of a set amount of weights, commonly set at 10lb incriments. For example, if a machine comes with a 200lb weight stack, it comes with a 10lb default plate that is the minimum you can use. There are then nineteen 10lb plates that you can use to adjust the weights to the desired lift. So, 50lbs = 4(10.lb plates) + Minimum plate. Machines that use free weight plates, can add the plates in the denominations that the plates are designated in. (5lb, 10lb, 25lb, etc.) Q: Are all the machines suitable for use by anyone? A: All BodyCraft Machines are designed to be used by everyone from the novice, to the professional. Different machines do, however, appeal to different people, and offer more in certain arenas you might like to train for. It is best that you consult your physician or doctor
